God is a God of grace...
God is a God of grace, not works. He takes and uses people who are at the margins of society - in order to show that salvation is from him, not from our own human ability. Paul says that God tends to choose and use people who are weaker socially, physically, and even morally. Why? "So that no human being might boast in the presence of God" (1 Corinthians 1:29 ESV).
