2 Bible Verses About Dealing with Prejudice
Prejudice darkens the understanding, erecting false barriers where God has established kinship. It represents a departure from the truth illuminated in sacred writ, which reveals the inherent dignity of every soul crafted in the divine image. Scripture provides the essential light to dispel this spiritual blindness, unveiling God's universal love and the call to brotherhood that binds us all. Deep engagement with these holy passages is not merely helpful; it is crucial for cultivating a just heart, for learning to see the world and our neighbors through the lens of eternal truth, and for living a life truly reflective of the Gospel command to love.
