Grace
For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people,
Titus 2:11 ESV

Grace is sometimes described as 'God's Riches At Christ's Expense'. There's some truth to that, but that isn't to say that Christ was robbed by God to benefit us. He willingly went to the cross on our behalf.
God's grace isn't just a secret for the initiated. It is for all who will come to Him in faith. The undeserved gift of God's kindness is most clearly displayed at the cross, where Jesus died for us. By His wounds we are healed of our sin-sickness.
The grace of God isn't just for Jews, even though the Lord Jesus is their Messiah. He is also the Saviour of the world. Whatever people we identify with- English, Nigerian, Pakistani or whatever- there's room for us at the foot of the cross.
Jesus might be Jewish Himself, but God isn't racist. He loves all peoples equally. There's room for representatives of every people group within His Kingdom.
'Heavenly Lord, whoever we are, we thank You that there's grace for us in Christ. Please help us to take our places in His everlasting Kingdom. In His name, amen'
