God makes it amply clear in His Word
that He is not a respecter of persons. Our text further confirms this truth, as
in it the Lord, through the prophet Joel, promises to pour out His Spirit upon
all (human) flesh, excluding no one as to gender, age or social status. In
providing salvation for lost humanity, Yahwah had to break the bondage of sin,
cleanse and remove it from the soul, and sanctify the individual by imparting
His holiness, through the agency of His Holy Spirit, and the direction of His
Word! The ministry of God’s outpoured Spirit in the heart and minds of those
who believe, promotes the holiness of God, and makes it possible for fallible
and imperfect humans, to live in righteousness and grow into perfection. This
endowment is not restricted to those who are wealthy, worthy or well
positioned. God includes all who will believe and accept His provision, in the
blessing and glory, of becoming ‘new creatures in Christ’. The love of God is
so powerful and all-inclusive, that it reaches to the most distant of mankind,
the lowliest, and the most depraved, and makes available to each, should they
accept and believe, the redemption the Saviour has supplied. We cannot but
rejoice in the great and wonderful reality of God’s amazing grace and awe-inspiring
love! It reaches out to each of us, and without regard for who we may be, or
the condition we are in, opens wide the doors of spiritual life here on earth, and
the potential of a blissful eternity with the Lord in heaven.
