Acts 10:34  Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons: 35  But in every nation he that fears Him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with Him. 

    When Peter said, “God is no respecter of persons,” he was making it clear that God is not concern with a persons status in life, such as skin color or class.  God is looking to the heart and the individual’s life style. I am reminded that in John 3:16  “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”  The word WORLD makes it clear that God’s love is not based on our looks or language but He loves us in spite of who we are.  It is sad that in many Churches, people choose to look down on others just because they are different in some way.  Believers are commanded to love one another like Christ loved us.  Christ’s love for us was not based on our goodness but based on HIS GRACE.
