Sons Of God Through Faith In Jesus

"For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus." (1)

God and Jesus Christ have no favorites. All men and women are equal in the site of God. "He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth." (2) "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise." (3) "The rich and the poor have this in common, the Lord is the maker of them all." (4) "Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame. For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For 'whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.' " (5)

Jesus did not restrict His benefits and blessings to one race or nation. He was sent to a woman of Canaan living in the region of Tyre and Sidon. He healed her daughter and commended the woman, "O woman, great is your faith! Let it be to you as you desire." (6)

A centurion, Roman officer, came to Jesus pleading with Him, "Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, dreadfully tormented." Jesus said, "I will come and heal him." The centurion answered and said, "Lord, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But only speak a word, and my servant will be healed." Jesus said of this Roman officer, "Assuredly, I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel!" Jesus said to the centurion, "Go your way; and as you have believed, so let it be done for you." (7)

Jesus held a conversation with an adulterous Samaritan woman. During the conversation the woman said to Him, "I know that Messiah is coming. When He comes, He will tell us all things." Jesus said to her, "I who speak to you am He." The woman left her waterpot and went into the city and said to the men of that city, "Come, see a Man who told me all things that I ever did. Could this be the Christ?" The Samaritans came to listen to Jesus and they testified, "Now we believe, not because of what you said, for we ourselves have heard Him and we know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world." (8)

"As many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name." (9)
