I
believe that God has regard for all people irrespective of race, gender,
economic status, and age. I affirm that all races are included in God’s human
family and thus are objects of his love.[1] There
is no distinction between people based on race regarding justification and
hence there should not be a distinction of race. I also believe that both sexes
should be treated in the same way even though God has given each different
responsibilities in regard to how they function as a family. The difference in
functions should not result in discrimination. In Bible, we see many women whom
God used for his glory. We should keep the differences in mind but that should
not end up with one person seen as superior to other.
I also believe that there should not be discrimination between married and
unmarried people. The Bible talks about unmarried people and it never condemns
them. I believe that in the sight of God, all humans are equal. The
distinctions of race, social status, and sex are of no significance to him.
This should result in Christians showing the same impartial concern and
interest for all humans, regardless of incidentals of lives. [2]
