Others are children of God, too

It's so easy to put each other down, to think negative thoughts about others. That's what Satan wants. He wants us all to be divided. Christ, on the other hand, wants us to be united.

Neil T. Anderson, on page 68 of Victory Over the Darkness, writes about believing the truth about others:
...there are no losers in the kingdom of God -- none whatsoever. How can children of God be losers when they have already gained eternal life? As important as it is for you to believe in your true identity as a child of God, it is equally important that you perceive other Christians for who they are in Christ and treat them accordingly. I believe that the greatest determinant for how we treat people is how we perceive them.

Let's start treating each other the way God sees us. God sees Christians as saints, and we all deserve to treat each other that way.
