"....have you not made distinctions among yourselves and become judges with evil designs?" James 2:4
How great it is that within the Body of Christ, the Church, all worldly distinctions like rich and poor disappear! We are all brothers and sisters of the same Christ who has done wonderful things for us. Our common bond with the Lord who has loved us and washed away our sins in his blood transcends and does away with earthly distinctions that end up causing people to disrespect and act unloving toward others. As members of Christ, we should look upon every human being as one for whom Christ died, which should help us love him or her as we love ourselves.
"For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 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." Galatians 3:27-28
