Christianity is the most inclusive worldview.
“None is righteous, no, not one;
no one understands;
no one seeks for God.
All have turned aside; together they have become worthless;
no one does good,
not even one.” (Romans 3:11-12)
And:
” … for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, … and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, …” (Romans 3:23-24)
This inclusiveness should have an immense humbling effect upon all to whom the mercy and grace of God has been extended through salvation in Jesus.
” … In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.” … “For God, who said, ‘Let light shine out of darkness,’ has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.” (2 Corinthians 4:4&6)
The Christian can have no pride in their status before the Holy God of creation, and should show enormous compassion and understanding to those to whom the same Grace has not yet been shown.
“There, but for the grace of God, am I.”
