What is Equality?

I really don’t know what all the strife among men on earth is about. Well, actually I do, that’s just kind of a figure of speech. It’s about unbelief toward God, and toward what he sent his Son to do for ALL men. Seems everybody likes the idea of being ‘righter’ than others, and everybody is inclined to the notion that they’re 'worth more’ than others. That’s really what’s going on. Problem is there simply aren’t enough folks who really understand and believe that God is the ONLY ONE who’s right, and it’s up to each of us here on this earth to humble ourselves and seek his face so that we might become a partaker of HIS RIGHT. And there aren’t enough people who understand and truly believe that Jesus suffered a cruel death to pay the price for ALL of the sins of ALL MEN! So none of us can possibly be righter than the others, but rather we can only be equally right; and that is only if we are made partakers of his rightness, because HE’S THE ONLY ONE WHO’S RIGHT! The truth is none of us can possibly be worth more than anyone else because Jesus paid the EXACT SAME PRICE for all of us, namely his suffering and death. Jesus only took one savage beating, and he only died on one cross one time; and that for all men of all time. That plainly and unequivocally makes us ALL EQUAL! Isn’t that beautiful??!!

Everybody needs to just 'get over it’ and get really humble, honest, and real with God. Everybody needs to get themselves out of God’s way and let him have what he paid for - ALL OF THEMSELVES! As it is written: “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service” (Rom. 12:1). When that becomes a reality in your life, then the following becomes a reality as well: “Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves” (Philip. 2:3). I assure you my friend that when we are able to get to that place, all strife and feuding will cease. It is only when we truly understand, believe, and stay on the absolute truth of the following renowned passage of scripture, that we can possibly move into that blessed territory: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved” (Jn. 3:16,17).Therein is the end of all strife, at least for those who really believe. Only God is right, and Jesus paid the same price for the redemption of us all. It really is that simple. Amen.
