What does it mean that God is no respecter of persons?

Answered in 1 source

It means that God does not show favoritism; His grace and mercy are available to all whom He calls to salvation.

Paul's assertion that God is no respecter of persons, as mentioned in Ephesians 6:9, conveys that God’s grace is not contingent upon human status, ethnicity, or personal merit. This doctrine profoundly impacts our understanding of salvation, as it emphasizes that God elects and redeems His people based upon His divine purpose and grace alone. Just as Christ did not spare even His own Son in addressing sin, we can be assured that God's mercy and grace extend equally to all sinners who are called by Him to repentance. This truth should foster humility and gratitude in all believers, knowing that our standing before God is not based on who we are but on who Christ is.
