Leviticus 19:15 Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honor the person of the mighty: but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbor.
Thus, because of the way God values a person, He has given specific instructions in His word so that we too may follow His lead. Several passages in the scripture address the issue of valuating persons on the basis of what God has created and redeemed, and it will do us well to observe some of the verses which treat on the issue.
If anyone living in Liberty city would have dared to take any classified government documents to their home, they would have been handcuffed and would be sitting in jail long ago. But modern society’s way of valuating persons allows certain individuals who might have wealth, and connections to run free for many years, with impunity.
Again, justice is often meted out based on the color of one’s skin, for if it was any different person who had done the unthinkable, in that infamous mass school shooting in Florida it’s quite possible that the death penalty would have been handed down in no uncertain terms.
Deuteronomy 1: 17 Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; but ye shall hear the small as well as the great; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
