How does God call His children from different backgrounds?

God calls His children from all nations and backgrounds, emphasizing His sovereign grace and the inclusivity of the gospel.
In Isaiah 49:18, God instructs His people to look around and witness His gathering of children from diverse backgrounds, demonstrating His power to save across all ethnicities and nations. This is reflective of the New Testament fulfillment where Christ's commission extends beyond the Jews to all Gentiles. The notion that 'there is no distinction' (Romans 10:12) highlights that salvation is accessible to all based on grace, not social or racial status. This inclusion serves as a testament to the character of God’s love and highlights the church's mission to preach the gospel to every creature, reinforcing that every believer's identity is rooted in their relationship with Christ rather than their earthly heritage.
