“You are EVERYTHING to God!”
One thing you should never forget:
In this time, when everyone is allowed to be “different,” before God we are all still the same.“There is no longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male or female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus.” (Galatians 3:28 NLT)
Do you understand what that means, friend? Let me modernize the text a bit: “It doesn’t matter whether you’re receiving government benefits or you’re the CEO of a big company: Before Christ, we all have equal worth—we are all equally important to Him.”
It’s not about who you are, it’s about what is in your heart! 💖
That’s what God is trying to explain to us through this (initially frustrating) passage from Ephesians 6:
“Bondservants, be obedient to those who are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in sincerity of heart, as to Christ … Doing the will of God from the heart, with goodwill doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men, knowing that whatever good anyone does, he will receive the same from the Lord.” (Ephesians 6:5-8 NKJV)
God, through the Apostle Paul, demands that believers—regardless of their social status—adopt an attitude characterized by integrity, sincerity, and devotion to God. The focus is on the fact that Christians should behave well not just in front of people, but do so out of an inner, God-pleasing attitude. 😀
And a person can only achieve this if they are TRULY with God in their heart. If they trust, despite their circumstances, that God Himself will take care of them.
Because God doesn’t just care for the “already rich”💰(and “rich” here can stand for anything: “rich” in health, “rich” in family, etc.), but He cares for EVERYONE EQUALLY, because before Him, we are all EQUAL!
Should I say it directly? “You, successful businessman, do not look down on those receiving government benefits, but love and pray for them.” And: “You, government benefits recipient, do not complain about the Christians living in prosperity—love them and rejoice for them!”
Because it’s true—before God, we all stand EQUAL! friend, you are not worthless to God—you are EVERYTHING to Him!
You are a miracle!
