Great Truth 2 — One Humanity

Underneath Our Labels, We Are Human

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.

Human first.

Labels second.

One human family.

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.

Questions for reflection

  • 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?
