Equality in God
We serve a God who made all mankind in his image
"So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them."
Genesis 1:27 (ESV)
Our God is partial to no one
"For the LORD your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great, the mighty, and the awesome God, who is not partial and takes no bribe." Deuteronomy 10:17 (ESV)
"For God shows no partiality." Romans 2:11 (ESV)
Christ paid the price for everyone's sins, not only believers
"He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world."
1 John 2:2 (NIV)
Christ before his crucifixion gave his followers a new commandment
"A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another."
John 13:34 (ESV)
We're all equal in that all have sinned
"for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God," Romans 3:23 (ESV)
The most important commandments
One of the teachers of the law came and heard them debating. Noticing that Jesus had given them a good answer, he asked him, “Of all the commandments, which is the most important?” “The most important one,” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.”
Mark 12:28 - 31(NIV)
