Equal Before Christ - all people are significant and valuable in God’s order. He challenges us to place value on all life, however wasted we think that life may be. To regard one race, group, or individual as less important than another is sin, in view of the fact that Christ died for all people and for each one in particular. At the foot of the Cross we are all equal, both in our worth to God and in our need to accept His gift of salvation. Let us learn to respect and honor every person and each people. Redemption is for us all

"... but if you show partiality, you commit sin, and are convicted by the law as transgressors." - James 2:9

Human value cannot be equated with race, gender, wealth, social standing, or educational background. 

All people are significant and valuable in God’s order.

And He challenges us to place value on all life, however wasted we think that life may be. 

The demon-possessed man of Gadara is a case in point (Luke 8:26–39). 

If there were ever a pointless existence, this appeared to be it. 

Yet Jesus, in His great compassion, saw worth and purpose in the man’s life. 

He ministered to him, brought him freedom, clothed him, and gave him a purpose.  

To regard one race, group, or individual as less important than another is sin, in view of the fact that Christ died for all people and for each one in particular.

At the foot of the Cross we are all equal, both in our worth to God (He sent His Son to die for each of us) and in our need to accept His gift of salvation. 

Let us learn to respect and honor every person and each people. 

Redemption is for us all.

A God Who Understands - He who was larger than the universe became an embryo. Jesus Christ was deity in diapers. Jesus humbled Himself and walked this earth and breathed our air and lived our life. God as a man, God on the cross, and God rising again. He never ceased to be God. But He did lay aside some of the privileges of deity and died our death. We have a God in Heaven who understands what it’s like to walk through this life. He literally felt our pain. He went through all of this for us

The Fullness of the Gentiles - most Israelites have been hardened to faith in Christ, keeping them from receiving God's righteousness. It was to make room for the non-Jewish people of the world to come into relationship with God through faith in Christ. However, Paul now states outright that this is a temporary season. A remnant of Israelites has believed in Jesus. God has hardened the rest in unbelief, but will bring Israel back to faith when enough Gentiles have come to Him through Christ

Serpent Seed Doctrine - believers in this doctrine claim that the fall of man was primarily sexual, that the serpent tempted Eve sexually and that Cain was the offspring of Eve's union with the devil. There is no rational basis for this, and no evidence, biblical or otherwise, for such claims. The Bible teaches equality very clearly: all people have sinned and fall short of the glory of God and are in need of redemption
