God ignores national differences:
Acts 10:34 - The Apostle Peter recognized that God was now allowing the Gentiles to be saved as well as Jews and therefore noted that God shows no partiality.

Romans 2:6-16 - Whether Gentile or Jew, God shows no partiality. To those who work wickedness, they receive God's wrath; and to those who do right, not just hearing the truth, they receive glory and eternal life (as believers).

God ignores social differences:
Ephesians 6:9 - Whether Masters or slaves, bosses or labor, Paul notes that each must do what is right, with the right spirit, because there is no partiality with God.

I Samuel 2:7,8 - God makes people poor or rich, and chooses to honor the poor (because of their faith)

God ignores popularity differences:
I Corinthians 1:26,27 - God chooses to use people that our world would not choose. He chooses the weak and those who seem to have nothing to offer.

God's character in salvation:
Ephesians 2:11-22 - At one time, we were separated from God, alienated from the body of Christ, strangers to His promises, no hope and desperately without a relationship to God. Then, God sent Jesus Christ to make a difference and bring us close to Him. He became our peace, overcoming the hostility that sin brings as a divide. So, now, we who have received Him are a part of the family, indwelt by the Holy Spirit.
