“God is Mindful of Every People”
The God of whom Ammon bore witness was not a local god with bounded powers and limited interests. His love was not confined to some small fragment of the earth’s population, neither was his power to bless or to save rationed among a favored few. There are none to whom the gospel will not go, whether it be in this life or in the next. There are none who cannot obtain the assurance of salvation through obedience to the laws and ordinances of the gospel. There are none for whom the atonement of Christ does not bring an everlasting restoration of body and spirit, none who through worthiness cannot obtain all that the Father has. A theology that promised less would be unworthy of our allegiance, unworthy of our God.
