Which lines from "On Being Brought from Africa to America" best convey the idea that all people are deserving of salvation?
'Twas mercy brought me from my Pagan land,
Taught my benighted soul to understand
That there's a God, that there's a Savior too:
Once I redemption neither sought nor knew,
Some view our sable race with scornful eye,
"Their color is a diabolic die."
Remember, Christians, Negroes, black as Cain,
May be refin'd, and join th' angelic train.
Question options:
God is no longer present in most people's daily lives
people of all colors can be redeemed by God
"'Twas mercy brought me from my Pagan land, / Taught my benighted soul to understand"
"That there's a God, that there's a Savior too: / Once I redemption neither sought nor knew,"
