Do everything without prejudice and without partiality.
That really ought to go without saying. Christians ought to know that God sees everyone the same. Nationality, race, culture, ethnicity, creed, and colour make no difference in God’s eyes. Before salvation all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. After salvation those who are saved are children of God – no matter what. We can’t see folks as white or black or brown or rich or poor or American or Irish or Saudi or straight or gay or weak or powerful or wise or foolish or deserving or not deserving. We treat everyone, everyone, the same as people made by God, people Jesus died for, and people who need the gospel. We need to rise above the world’s prejudices to see people like Jesus say them as He left Jerusalem and wept for their souls.
The world is trying to send quite a different message today. Folks are dividing over almost anything. Once we have picked our side we tend to see everything only in that light and we fight with anyone who is on the other side. We can’t swallow this message. We can’t be caught in the us vs you trap.
No partiality. No prejudice. Jesus loved the little children, all the children of the word.
Red and yellow, black and white, there are precious in His sight. We must see people like Jesus did.
