What does the Bible say about respect of persons?

Answered in 4 sources

The Bible teaches that God is no respecter of persons, emphasizing that faith comes from the righteousness of Christ, not our merits.

In James 2:1, we are reminded not to have the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ with respect of persons. This principle highlights God's impartiality; He does not judge based on outward appearances or human status. Instead, faith is a gift rooted in the righteousness of Christ, as noted in Romans 3:21-22, which declares that the righteousness of God is obtained through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. This theme is reinforced throughout Scripture, indicating that God chooses individuals not based on their worldly status but according to His sovereign grace.
