Christians hardly know this great truth about THEMSELVES. You ARE a spirit, you posses a soul, you live in a body, (1 Thess. 5:23). This is true about everyone that you see every day, whether in person or through some other form of media.
1 Samuel 16:7 says that as human beings we look 'on the outward appearance' but God looks 'on the heart'. Paul said the same thing in 2 Cor. 5: henceforth know we no man 'after the flesh'.
Just seeing people (and yourself) by the five senses promotes opinions, categorizing, labeling, etc. All of these things subject to change as we are tossed about in the sea of life.
Receiving Truth about what YOU are and what THEY are will free you from this human weakness and you will begin to see others as eternal spirits, followed by the question: "Where will they spend eternity?"
