| Why do we as Christians talk about non-believers as if they live in a world outside our own. We treat them as if they live in an alien world, and we live in a bubble of normality. We talk about the world as if there is “us” and there is “them”. We call ourselves “Christians”, and we call them “Sinners”. But aren’t we all sinners? Perhaps we need to stop looking at them from our perspective and begin looking at the whole of humanity from God’s perspective. If we are all sinners, then really there is no “us” and there is no “them”. We are all sinners before God, but the good news is that God loves each one of us. He plays no favorites so salvation is available to all who seek it. Perhaps we need to rethink how we view ourselves in this world, so that we do not appear to be alien to the world, and instead view ourselves from God’s perspective. Perhaps, then, we would be more sensitive and compassionate to others when we realize that we are no different than they are. |
