We are all different.
Some believe in Jesus and some do not.

But we did not kill each other this semester by God's grace.

All said and done we can say confidently:

²⁶ You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus,
²⁷ for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.

²⁸ There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
²⁹ If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise. Gal 3:26-29

We are sons and daughters of God when we put our faith in Jesus who died for our sins and rose from the dead.

The real peace comes when we want to please God who sent his Son and have hope so that we can be transformed to be like his Son. (2 Cor 5:9, Ro 8:29)
