Read Romans 12:15-16.
The Apostle Paul offers more good guidance on what it looks like to live as the people of Jesus Christ. To celebrate with those who are celebrating and to mourn with those who mourn are prime examples of how we, as God’s family, honor one another. There are times this might present a challenge, however with God’s perspective it becomes a gift we give those in our lives.
Christ demonstrated that we should treat all people with honor and respect - those of a different race, the handicapped, the poor, young and old, male and female. We must never consider others as being beneath us. Paul says we need to live in harmony with others and not be too proud to enjoy the company of ordinary people. Are you able to do humble tasks with others? Do you welcome conversation with unattractive, non-prestigious people? Are you willing to befriend newcomers and entry -level people? If we love someone the way God loves us, labels will be inconsequential.
