God is not a respecter of persons

Scripture

For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes believed him. And even when you saw it, you did not afterward change your minds and believe him. (Mat 21:32 ESV)


Observation

John came to both, preaching the doctrine of repentance, and proclaiming Jesus the Messiah.
Jesus spoke of true repentance lead to everlasting life regardless sinners of the vilest kind, will enter heaven , but not religious pretenders.


Application

God is not a respecter of persons. He is not despise whatever background, culture, sin, job etc we came from, as long as we believe in Him and repent from our heart from what we have done. I believe as long as we live in this corrupted world and in this flesh, we are tempted to sin and sick in the flesh. However, Jesus Christ has born our sickness and sin. Forgiveness everyday, healing is everyday!


Response

Holy Spirit, guide me & help me not to fall into religious pretender, where look good outwardly among Christian, but not having transformation from inside out. I need your grace, mercy and power throughout the journey of life in this planet earth. Touch my life with your healing grace. Amen.
