IN CHRUST, ONE NEW MAN:

 ONE NEW MAN IN CHRIST, EQUAL:

Biblical Truth Time With, Your Serving National And Global Nations Social Media, Apostle James R, Winfree, Sr.

Ephesians 2:15
Having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself One New Man from the two, thus making peace,

Equal blessings, respect, honor, wealth, rights have been a major problem in America, and Countries around the World, and its Churches, for many centuries.
Because this idea of human equality is so deeply ingrained in racism, selfish people, and self-interest world in keeping the have nots poor, and the filthy rich on top being the masters, while the poor are their servants even in most religious Churches.

We often assume that the Bible fully supports this wickedness and evil as well.

First, we need a clear definition of equality, which can refer to sameness in measure; likeness in quality, status, or nature; or impartiality in treatment. We should also separate the concepts of naturally occurring inequalities from behavioral inequalities.

God created all of His children with equal value: “So God created mankind in His image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them, man and woman” ( Genesis 1:27 ). By creating His sons and daughters in His image, God set our values based upon our likeness to Him. Every child of God has natural equality with every other member of God's family being because all are created in God’s image.
No one has been created more or less, like God than anyone else, and I could add that every nation was birth out of Africa. Just saying...

Society and Church Leaders at large often divide people along racial, ethnic, gender, and economic lines, allowing favoritism and partiality to creep in. When God sent His only begotten Son into the world to take the punishment for our sin ( John 3:16–18 ), He showed great impartiality.

All of us His children were equally sinners, and we all equally need Jesus the blessed holy Savior. All of God's children, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, or other distinctions, must be saved the same way, through faith in Christ, and once they are saved, they have the same blessings, benefits rights, and privileges of salvation, being equal members of the family of God ( Colossians 3:11;) ( Galatians 3:28 ).

Unity in The Spirit of Christ Jesus removes all favoritism and bias in the Church that the Lord built and established Himself.

In the matter of salvation, the playing field has been leveled, and we are all on equal footing. The Bible pictures the Church as comprised of different but equally valuable parts of a body ( Ephesians 5:30;) ( 1 Corinthians 12:27 ). Jesus Christ teaches us that to disrespect or abuse another son or daughter of God based on physical, racial, mental, or socio-economic differences is wrong and sinful ( James 2:1–13 ).

All sons and daughters of the Lord are equal in value, and all believers have equal spiritual standing in Christ. But we are not equal in every way. We are each a unique creation. Physically, intellectually, emotionally, economically, by almost every earthly comparison, God's sons and daughter's beings are unequal. Short or tall, thin or fat, weak or strong, rich or poor, evidence of human inequality is everywhere. About this kind of inequality, the Bible is strangely silent. God makes no apologies for creating us different from one another ( Read Exodus 4:11 ).

Given that people tend to place more value on certain characteristics such as height and strength, such inequalities can negatively impact human experience, and this leads some people to wonder why God doesn’t do more to ensure equity.

Much inequality in the world is due to sin’s effects. Disease, racism, poverty, and deformity are all due to the curse this world is under because of sin ( Genesis 3:16–19;) ( Psalm 107:34;) ( Romans 8:22–23 ).

Even then, the Bible reveals that God takes note of the helpless, and He expects those with better circumstances to bear the burdens of those without ( Exodus 22:21–23; ) ( Deuteronomy 10:18; ) ( Jeremiah 7:6;) ( Zechariah 7:10 ).

God sees the plight of the widow and the fatherless and has given strict commandments to His people about caring for them. One of the first charitable acts carried out by the early Church was to provide for the widows among them ( Acts 6:1;) ( 1 Timothy 5:3 ).

The Bible addresses class distinctions and discusses both slavery and mendicancy without passing moral judgment on either. Rather than removing all class distinctions, God put boundaries around the societal systems already in place and gave guidelines about how His sons and daughters were to behave. The Bible’s treatment of slavery is often criticized because it instructs kindness and respect between slaves and masters and does not abolish the practice entirely ( Ephesians 6:5;) ( 1 Timothy 6:1;) ( Colossians 3:22 ).

Beggars were commonplace in Jesus’ day, yet He did not lead a political crusade to redistribute wealth. God is fully aware of the imbalances in human experience, yet the Bible usually addresses these inequalities as opportunities for His people to develop empathy and compassion. Inequalities in social rank, physical abilities, or financial resources are occasions for us to practice loving our neighbors as ourselves ( Leviticus 19:18; ) ( Romans 13:9;) ( Mark 12:31 ). God often uses those very inequalities to teach and develop the character of Christ in us and those we serve ( John 9:1–3;) ( Philippians 4:17;) ( Luke 6:38 ).

Some inequalities, such as talents, abilities, and spiritual gifts, are part of God’s design for us. Other inequalities are forced upon us by our fellow man who wrongly judges us as “superior” or “inferior” based on society’s wicked and evil standards. Still other inequalities we choose for ourselves, as we determine our course of action, wisely or foolishly. Jesus is the great equalizer. In Him, all iniquitous inequalities cease. There is no favoritism in Him ( Acts 10:34 ). When Jesus comes again, it will be as the Just Judge:
“He will not judge by appearance
nor make a decision based on hearsay.
He will give justice to the poor
and make fair decisions for the exploited” ( Isaiah 11:3–4, ).
God’s throne will be surrounded by sons and daughters of God from every nation, tribe, and tongue, united in praise to His Name ( Revelation 7:9–10 ). At that time, all our differences and inequalities will showcase His glory in unique and personal ways.
We all have the same human parents, Adam and Eve and the very same blood runs through our veins,
Acts 17:26
And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings, Amen.
Lovingly, Truthfully, Respectfully, Straight Out Of God's Living Word.
