The Scripture says that we’re justified by faith alone (http://bib.ly/Ep2.8-9). Not by works, not by race, not by knowledge. That is a tremendously reassuring statement, because it means salvation is open to everyone:
It’s open to the worst sinners, because it’s not based on works. There’s no scale involved here.
It’s open to people of every race, economic class, and political outlook. There’s no prejudice in God’s kingdom … a welcome change from ours!
It’s open to people who are at every level of intellect, because it’s not what you know, but who you know.
Salvation by faith … what a breath of fresh air!
