One Humanity

One Human Family

Before our religious, racial, national, cultural, political, and social labels, we were human.

Our labels may describe us, but they should never determine another human being's fundamental worth.

Human first. Labels second.

Human first. Labels second. One human family.

Humanity has created thousands of labels — religion, denomination, race, ethnicity, nationality, politics, status, occupation, culture, geography, ideology. Those labels may describe aspects of our lives, but they do not change what we fundamentally are. We are human.

God Sees the Person Underneath

From the movement's perspective, God does not evaluate humanity according to the countless social categories human beings use to divide ourselves. At the most basic level, we believe God recognizes humanity as male and female, as His children, and morally according to good and evil.

The Measurement

God judges what human beings think, intend, say, choose, practice, become, and do. The measurement is not based primarily upon religious affiliation. It is based upon universal and timeless good and evil.

A Question Worth Sitting With

If there is One Creator, who are we?

Examine Your Life

  • Who am I before my labels?
  • Who are you before I label you?
  • What if God sees more of our humanity than our categories?
  • What would change if we learned to see human beings before seeing labels?

Great Truth 02 in Summary

Before our religious, racial, national, cultural, political, and social labels, we were human.

Our labels may describe us, but they should never determine another human being's fundamental worth.

Remember This

One Humanity. One Human Family.

The God Way asks: How should that change how I treat another human being?
