EQUALITY IN VALUE
Caste is hateful to God. He ignores everything of this character. In His sight the souls of all men are of equal value.
{Conflict and Courage, EGW, 1970, p. 297.7}
ONE BY CREATION & ONE THROUGH REDEMPTION
No distinction on account of nationality, race, or caste, is recognized by God. He is the Maker of all mankind. All men are of one family by creation, and all are one through redemption. Christ came to demolish every wall of partition, to throw open every compartment of the temple courts, that every soul may have free access to God.
{The Faith I Live By, EGW, 1958, p.65.3}
SECRET OF UNITY - CHRIST
The secret of unity is found in the equality of believers in Christ. The reason for all division, discord, and difference is found in separation from Christ. Christ is the center to which all should be attracted; for the nearer we approach the center, the closer we shall come together in feeling, in sympathy, in love, growing into the character and image of Jesus. With God there is no respect of persons.
{That I May Know Him, EGW, 1964,p.99.2}
UNCONTROLLED CHILDHOOD: NOT LEARNED TO SUBMIT
"It is impossible to depict the evil that results from leaving a child to its own will. Some who go astray because of neglect in childhood will later, through the inculcation of practical lessons, come to their senses; but many are lost forever because in childhood and youth they received only a partial, one-sided culture. The child who is spoiled has a heavy burden to carry throughout his life. In trial, in disappointment, in temptation, he will follow his undisciplined, misdirected will. Children who have never learned to obey will have weak, impulsive characters. They seek to rule, but have not learned to submit. They are without moral strength to restrain their wayward tempers, to correct their wrong habits, or to subdue their uncontrolled wills. The blunders of untrained, undisciplined childhood become the inheritance of manhood and womanhood. The perverted intellect can scarcely discern between the true and the false."
{Counsels to Parents, Teachers and Students, EGW, 1913, p.112.2}
