God sees us as equally broken, full of potential but desperately in need of His remedy. His offer of salvation is for all, offered the same to each person, in every generation.
Salvation does not make one person better than another.
Jesus saves us from our personal hell and sets us free by giving us life in abundance. God can rewire our hearts to get past the hurdles that trip us up and to lead us into a peaceful existence within ourselves and our community at large. A peace that has no limit.
