“Live in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly. Never be wise in your own sight.” Romans 12:16 ESV
Inclusivity is a word that some bristle when they hear it because it reminds them maybe of the things that are different. Guess what friends. Inclusivity doesn’t mean agreement with a lifestyle but means being kind in order to win someone out of a life of sin to a life of serving and worshipping God. It could be someone’s belief system politically goes against what you interpret the Bible to say.
Jesus was inclusive and that made people mad. He didn’t give a ‘pass’ to sinful behavior but His arms were opened wide to even those who hated him or couldn’t understand him.
Can you do that my friend? Are you able to stop judging long enough to love someone into the kingdom? The key is a person needs to repent and trust Christ as their savior. Jesus loves, redeems, and sets people free. Be like Him.
PRAYER: Today I need your help Lord to live for you and to love people hard to love. A simple smile can make the difference. It is not my job to transform hearts so help me to do my part so you can do yours. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
