What does the Bible say about everyone is equal?
Bible Topic · WEB
The Bible teaches that all people are equally created in God’s image, equally accountable to Him for sin, and equally invited to receive salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. Genesis 1:27 grounds human dignity in God’s creation, while Acts 17:26 teaches that God made every nation from one man. Scripture also declares that all have sinned and that God shows no partiality (Romans 3:23; Romans 2:11). In Christ, ethnic, social, and gender distinctions do not determine standing before God, for believers are one in Him (Galatians 3:28; Colossians 3:9-11). This equality does not erase every earthly role or difference, but it establishes the equal worth and need of every person before the Lord.
