Time and again, the New Testament demonstrates that God is the God of everyone. Unfortunately, I continually see Christians try to deny God to others. They attempt to put conditions of God's love or distort Jesus' message with rhetoric and actions based in hate. I understand why so many people turn away from the Christian faith when they are treated in these ways by people who claim to follow Christ's teachings.
That God is the God of all is quite an epiphany. As a Christian, I need to internalize that revelation so that it is evident in all that I say and do. I need to work at not putting labels on those I meet, but rather recognizing God's love and presence in every person.
