God's word is very clear in telling us that all men are created equal and every single person can be a child of God, receiving the full inheritance of heaven. We can look at the Word to learn how to love and serve everyone no matter what their age, color, or ethnicity, gender or nationality.
Ephesians 2:14 For he himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility,
Father, we are all brothers and sisters, that believe in Your glorious Son, Jesus Christ and we must not show favoritism. Lord, let us not treat people that are rich in material possessions of a gold ring and fine clothes, any different than a poor man in filthy old clothes, because they are the same in your eyes. Father, make us aware that, If we show special attention to the person wearing fine clothes and say, “Here’s a good seat for you,” but say to the poor man, “You stand there” or “Sit on the floor by my feet,” have discriminated among ourselves and become judges with evil thoughts; so we too will be judged with the same evil thoughts. If Christ is our Savior we are all children of God through faith, for all of us who were baptized into Christ have clothed ourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. Amen
