Active Equality

Shirley Baptist Church Solihull, Sermons

Justice and equality for every human being is the heart of the good news of Jesus. As Paul says to the Galatians, 'There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.' In James's letter, the instruction is typically blunt: 'My brothers and sisters, believers in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ must not show favouritism'. So let us accept this challenge and, in doing so, keep the royal law found in Scripture: 'Love your neighbour as yourself'.
