God's city welcomes people from every nation. In Christ, people of every background are born into His family.

Summary of Psalms 87

The LORD loves the gates of Zion, and glorious things are spoken of the city of God. Nations once enemies, like Egypt and Babylon, will be counted as born in Zion. When God registers the peoples, He will record that each was born there. Singers and musicians say, 'All my springs are in thee.'
