Galatians 3:28 (NKJV) 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
Where we have come from, the denomination we are involved in, the titles we hold or the size of our bank account do not cause us to be loved more than anyone else by Christ.
In Jesus’ eyes we are one. He loves that person that is living out on the street just as much as the person living in a mansion. He loves a Baptist just as much as He loves a Catholic. He loves a chamber maid just as much as He loves a clerk. He loves a missionary just as much as a Priest, Pastor, Bishop or Reverend.
Now, if Jesus says we are one in Him, we must begin to act as if we are one. How do we live together like this?
Jesus Christ must rule over our flesh, because our flesh does not know how to judge rightly. But His Spirit is righteous and true.
We have to let Him teach us and show us how to walk in such a manner of respect towards others. We must learn how to push down the flesh and its judgement and let the Lord guide us in our thoughts and actions if we want to live according to His statues and His way of seeing things.
Romans 12:3 (NKJV) 3 For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith.
We must fight our own flesh and stop it from thinking of ourselves more highly than others.
