"Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;"
Romans 3:22-23
It's interesting here that it says there is no difference among "all them that believe" ... because clearly there is a difference: we're different people, and God doesn't treat us as though we were identical clones with no personality difference. He loves us, and our personalities. :)
I think the similarity that it is talking about is the one specified in the second verse of the selection. We are alike in that none of us qualifies for heaven. We all fall short of being able to return to God's presence. We are alike in the need for help... for salvation. And that is what Christ offers us. And I think that is also at least part of what unites us. We are trying to help each other find our way back.
Today, let's remember our similarities and work with God to help others and unite to find our way home.
