Leviticus 20:24 NLT
“But I have promised you, ‘You will possess their land because I will give it to you as your possession—a land flowing with milk and honey.’ I am the Lord your God, who has set you apart from all other people.”
God’s grace is for all
The above scripture contains a promise meant not only for the native-born Israelites but also for the foreigners who left Egypt with them. The promise of inheriting the land was extended to everyone, and the act of setting them apart from other nations applied universally. It’s important to understand that God does not show favouritism but regards all people equally under His grace.
Moses deserves credit for faithfully conveying the message as instructed by the Lord. Despite the potential to create a hierarchical system with these instructions, Moses did not do so, demonstrating His devotion to the Lord and love for all. As followers of Christ, we should see each other as equally deserving of God’s grace, as the one who bestows grace, “I AM WHO I AM,” shows no partiality and does not grant more grace to one person over another.
In his letter to the Corinthian church, Paul reaffirms that God’s grace is available to all (2 Corinthians 13:14). Therefore, do not let anyone persuade you that God’s grace is not equally accessible to all. The “you” mentioned in the referenced scripture includes you. Therefore, rejoice, for this means that God’s grace, promises, and responsibilities apply to everyone.
