Topical Encyclopedia

The concept of equality is woven throughout the biblical narrative, reflecting both the inherent dignity of all human beings as created in the image of God and the call for just and fair treatment among individuals. The Bible addresses equality in various contexts, including creation, salvation, and social justice.

Creation and Human Dignity

The foundation for understanding equality in the Bible begins with the creation account. Genesis 1:27 states, "So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them." This verse underscores the equal value and dignity bestowed upon every human being, regardless of gender, as all are made in the image of God. This intrinsic equality is a fundamental principle that informs the biblical view of human relationships and societal structures.

Equality in Salvation

The New Testament further develops the theme of equality, particularly in the context of salvation. Galatians 3:28 declares, "There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." This passage emphasizes that in Christ, all distinctions that might divide humanity are transcended. The apostle Paul highlights that salvation through Jesus Christ is available to all, regardless of ethnic, social, or gender differences, affirming the equal standing of all believers before God.

Social Justice and Fair Treatment

The Bible also addresses the importance of equality in terms of social justice and fair treatment. The Mosaic Law contains numerous provisions aimed at ensuring justice and equity within the community. For example, Leviticus 19:15 instructs, "You must not pervert justice; you must not show partiality to the poor or favoritism to the rich; you are to judge your neighbor fairly." This command reflects God's desire for impartiality and fairness in legal and social matters, advocating for a society where all individuals are treated with equal respect and justice.

Equality in the Early Church

The early Christian community sought to embody the principles of equality and mutual care. Acts 4:32 describes the early believers: "All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of his possessions was his own, but they shared everything they owned." This communal lifestyle was a practical expression of the equality and unity that the gospel promotes, as believers sought to meet each other's needs without regard to social status or wealth.

Equality and the Kingdom of God

The teachings of Jesus further illuminate the biblical perspective on equality. In the parable of the workers in the vineyard (Matthew 20:1-16), Jesus illustrates the kingdom of God as a realm where divine generosity and grace override human notions of merit and hierarchy. The landowner's decision to pay all workers equally, regardless of the hours worked, challenges conventional ideas of fairness and highlights the radical equality of God's kingdom.

Conclusion

The biblical concept of equality is multifaceted, encompassing the inherent dignity of all people, the universal offer of salvation, and the call for justice and fairness in human relationships. Through these teachings, the Bible presents a vision of a community where all individuals are valued and treated with respect, reflecting the character and purposes of God.

EQUAL

e'-kwal isos:

In Ezekiel 18:25; Ezekiel 29; 33:17, 20, "The way of the Lord is not equal" translates Hebrew yittakhen for takhan, "to weigh," and means "is not adjusted to any fixed standard," "arbitrary," "fitful," and, therefore, "not equitable, fair, or impartial" Septuagint ("is not set straight"). Compare same Hebrew word in 1 Samuel 2:3, where the Lord is said to `weigh actions.' "Equal," therefore, is what will bear the closest investigation and strictest judgment. In Matthew 20:12, "made them equal" means "put them upon the same footing," i.e. regarded their brief service as though it were the very same as our long hours of toil. In Luke 20:36 the context restricts the equality to a particular relation. The precise meaning of isos in John 5:18, "making himself equal with God," is clearly defined by the preceding clause, for our Lord's opponents say that He has "called God his own Father" (Greek idion patera, i.e. His Father in a peculiar and exclusive sense; compare idiou huiou of Romans 8:32, applying the same adjective to the Son in His relation to the Father, i.e. His Son in a sense in which no one else can claim the title). They correctly interpreted the language of Jesus as declaring that He was the Son of God in a way that put Him on an equality with God. The charge against Him is not that He said that He was "like" (homoios), but that He was "equal" (isos), i.e. of the very same rank and authority.
