We can know this is true because God made humans in His image (Genesis 1:27) and because Jesus, God in flesh, came to die for us on the cross and rise from the grave so that ANYONE who puts their trust in Him will be saved and become part of His kingdom (John 3:16; Romans 10:11-13). When do you struggle to see people\\u2014others or yourself\\u2014as all equal in value and worth? In what ways are you tempted to put people on different levels? Consider taking a moment to talk to God about these things. You can be totally honest with Him\\u2014He wants to help and forgive you, not condemn you.\\n\\n\\n\\n\\u2022 Every person we meet is someone God has made, someone Jesus was willing to die for. How might remembering the gospel help us see all people as equally loved and valuable?\\n\\n\\n\\nFor God does not show favoritism. Romans 2:11 (NLT)'
