God is the author of justice and fairness. Just the concept of providing a one-time sacrifice in His son Jesus Christ to justify all of mankind (John 3:16 For God so loved...) is a huge example of God's desire for justice and justness is love. This is clearly laid out in Romans.
Natural man is self-centered and tries to initiate a measurement system himself that favors his own privilege. Man always tries to insure his own success. He seeks to fill his own incompleteness with fillers and value those things that seemingly add to his value. In his relationships to others he constructs a measuring stick by which he can measure his success. This gives him a false security when he perceives his stock is higher than someone else's. It is no surprise that in his strivings, he compromises certain tenets to maintain his position. This is very evident today in the media, politics, religion, sports, the arts and philosophy. It is everywhere.
Romans 9:29 And as Esaias said before, Except the Lord of Sabaoth had left us a seed, we had been as Sodoma, and been made like unto Gomorrha.In his justness, God has provided the human race with an out to striving. It doesn't matter who you are, the playing field is even and Jesus Christ is passing the ball. Who ever heard of one player on a team trying to interfere with another player on the same team so he could get the ball and score the points and do the touchdown dance? It is certainly not easy to win that way! Jesus Christ calls the play, each of us does our individual part and that's how the game is won.
2 Corinthians 10:12For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise. (link - comparing with/among)God says it is stupid to compare ourselves to one another. We need to believe in the our completeness in Christ, do our parts heartily and reap the benefits. No one else can define our playbook.
Romans 14:4 Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.There are some amazing things God works through each individual when he/she lets God define the walk. Every person is capable of generating fruitful work for God.
1 Corinthians 2:13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.Check out Luke 11:13! Why would God empower each person with the same measure of spirit if that were not so?
