About how none of us is really
better than another person… Romans 3:23 …for all have
sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and are justified freely by his
grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. (NIV) None of us
is higher than any other person on earth. In the same way, none of us is lower
than any other person on earth. We are all equal. We are all equal in our sin
before God. God wants us to see how all of us can live in His grace through the
redemption possible by accepting Christ as Lord. When you walk down the street,
everyone you pass by is just like you. Not one of the people you have ever known
or ever will know is better than you. Not one of the people you have ever known
or ever will know is beneath you in any kind of way. We are all equally sinful.
We are all equally fallen and broken. We are all born hopelessly lost and doomed
to live in the eternal outer darkness. However,
we need not be doomed, because we can grasp the nail-scarred saving hand of our
Savior. We should never feel we are better than anyone else. We should never
feel anyone else is better than we are. Everyone in our life should be treated
as our true brother or sister. In God's eyes, although we are all equally fallen
and corrupt, we are all equally savable, equally redeemable, and equally loved
by Jesus beyond our ability to say or comprehend. |
