RESPECT ALL PERSONS
đź““Proverbs 28:21
_To have respect of persons is not good: for for a piece of bread that man will transgress. (KJV)_
It is said "respect is a reciprocal; you give and receive". Do you show respect to others? On what basis do you do that? Mostly, the respect and honor we show to others involves ulterior motives. For instance, we show respect to those we think can offer us something in return. Most of us are easily impressed by wealth, fame, status or prestige and for that matter, only those who are found within these impressive zones receive our respect. This is an acts of favouritism.
However, as Christians, we respect people with love considering the fact that they have been created in God's own image and likeness. Also, we do that because they are like us and that they also deserve to be showed whatever we want others to show to us. It is said in Matthew 7:12 that, "do to others whatever you would like them to do to you. This is the essence of all that is taught in the law and the prophets" (NLT).
Beloved, do you respect only those who will help you get ahead? You must treat all people as you would want to be treated. Treat everyone you meet with respect and dignity no matter how insignificant he or she may seem. This is what the Lord wants you to do to all people. Apart from that, you never no how God will use someone to help you. Therefore, with no exclude, respect all persons. Not all, our respect to all persons shows how humble we are.
_*Further Study: James 2:1-9*_
