Summary

Christians are renewed in the image of Christ, and we can accept and are called to accept all people, regardless of their status, situation, or history. Jesus Christ in His earthy ministry went everywhere in Israel. He ministered to both believers and unbelievers. He showed compassion and mercy to all. He did not show favoritism, for God shows no partiality, Galatians 2:6.
