Romans 3:9
What then? Are we better than they? No, in no wise; for we have before
proved both Jews and Gentiles that they (we) are all under sin.
While praying for peace and comfort for all those affected by the wave of
violence that took center stage over the past few days I pondered what to write
for today's message; the Holy Spirit gave me the above topic which is this
quarter's Sunday school topic.
We all are affected one way or another by the constant stream of violence
that is being played out before our eyes. This is not of God. I say this
because we all are linked together through God's Spirit the Holy Spirit. He
breathed the breath of life into each of us and we became a living soul. One is
no better than the other regardless of our race, nationality, creed, color and
gender. All humanity is God's creation and He created us equally.
These questions come to mind, who are we to take another person's life?
Who are we to say that one person is better than someone else? Who made anyone
judge, jury and executioner of another? God is the only righteous judge and He
will judge the world of its sins just as He did before sending His Son Jesus to
atone the world of its sins. Today's sin and sinful acts will not escape God's
judgment.
That said, what this world needs is more love. We are commanded to love
one another and to treat one another as thyself. Keep in mind, God loves us all
and we are to emulate God's love by loving everyone. I could ask, how did we
loose that loving feeling? Is it because in today's society we are more focused
on status and or nationality of a person rather than the person himself?
Whatever the reason remember, we all are created equal in the eyes of God and
will be judged accordingly.
Let me close by encouraging all to live and let live; give love and
receive love; we are all one in Christ.
