The God of the Bible is not racist. He does not consider the color of a person's skin or heritage when showing favor or punishment. He does not look at outward appearance. God is concerned with the inner man, with the heart. Scripture says God sees the heart (1 Sam....
It does not appear that God grants faith to every person. This is because many people do not believe in Jesus or trust in what He did on the cross. Nevertheless, a verse in the Bible says God has given "to each a measure of faith." But what does the context tell us...
