In the realm of human existence, it is an undeniable truth that not every person experiences a genuine sense of belonging within the broader scope of humanity. Every human-being inherently possesses an innate longing for inclusion within society.
In the sacred text of (Galatians 3:28) the esteemed apostle Paul expounds upon and accentuates the profound equality and unity that permeate all believers who are united in Christ. From divine perspective, there exits no distinction or hierarchy but rather all believers are regarded as equals, bound together by their shared faith. This scripture serves as a poignant reminder of the yearning for unity among believers and the divine purpose that underlies it. Furthermore, (Acts 17:26) explains that all human descendants trace their lineage back to Adam and Eve, with God alone determining the course of history and the boundaries of their land. This passage emphasizes the interconnectedness of humanity and the divine sovereignty that governs our existence. (1 Corinthians 12:12-14) imparts invaluable wisdom regarding the significance of unity within the church, highlighting the unique roles and contributions of each individual.
In the realm of worldly affairs, the illusion of inclusion often masquerades as genuine inclusion, leading many astray.
True inclusion, although it remains elusive, and requires a steadfast pursuit of true inclusion in all facets of life. The concept, inclusion, transcends mere social and occupational realms; it encompasses spiritual inclusion as well. As devout believers in God, it is incumbent upon us to embrace truth and the reality of Christ, that we fully exemplify our inclusion in HIM. The impact of God’s inclusion in our lives allows us to personally witness and testify to HIS transformative power.
May we wear a meek and quiet nature as if it were an ornament that perfectly compliments our design.

Unity and Diversity in the Body
12 “Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. 13 For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink.14 Even so the body is not made up of one part but of many.”
1 Corinthians 12:12-14
King James Version
12 “For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.
13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.
14 For the body is not one member, but many.”
1 Corinthians 12:12-14
Living Bible
12 “Our bodies have many parts, but the many parts make up only one body when they are all put together. So it is with the “body” of Christ. 13 Each of us is a part of the one body of Christ. Some of us are Jews, some are Gentiles, some are slaves, and some are free. But the Holy Spirit has fitted us all together into one body. We have been baptized into Christ’s body by the one Spirit, and have all been given that same Holy Spirit.
14 Yes, the body has many parts, not just one part.”
