Culture of Inclusion
‘Culture of Inclusion’ seems to be the words of the moment. We hear these from organizations, companies, and news media.
After reviewing different articles, we can conclude that a culture of inclusion seeks to achieve integration in the midst of the diversity among the members of an organization (or community), so that everyone can collaborate to achieve the maximum potential for each individual and the group as a whole.
The idea sounds fantastic, but it has a great limitation: human beings are inclined to seek mainly, and in some cases exclusively, their own good. In addition, we can’t deny that the culture of individualism has a greater appeal.
What is then the solution? There is no other answer than God. This may seem contradictory to people who accuse God of being exclusive, but nothing is further from the truth.
At the moment that the a person decides to become his own God (a story that has repeated for each human being since the Garden of Eden) we made the decision to exclude ourselves from the presence of God. It was not God who excluded us, but ourselves.
However, God in his love, has since wanted to reintegrate to his kingdom those (you and me) who voluntarily isolated from Him.
All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one. – Romans 3:12
No matter the reason for our separation, or how far our actions have taken us from God, He removed the barriers of separation through His son Jesus Christ to include us yet again in His kingdom. His purpose is for us to achieve the potential that those who were created in His image can achieve. We just need to collaborate with Him: Jesus with his sacrifice, we with our faith, and the Father with his forgiveness. This is the real culture of inclusion.
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. – Romans 6:23
We were all equally lost, but we have all been equally loved. Can there be a greater act of inclusion than God loving with such commitment those who voluntarily rejected him? An offer like this can’t be rejected.
