What is the standard by which a person is measured in America today? We know in some cultures of the world young boys are conditioned and indoctrinated to hate everyone who is not a member their faith and then to be willing to die for that faith, regardless of how out-of-touch with reality it may be.
I realize there are beliefs designed to teach boys how to exhibit masculine attributes, to the detriment of others. In some elements of our culture the measure of a person is determined by the weapons that are possessed and if there is a willingness to use them against others.
What does God use to measure a person? God measures people by their capacity to love and serve him enthusiastically for the good of others. A heart of compassion exemplifies a person with courage to stand for what is good and righteous.
God commanded all people to be holy, so your trust and faith in Jesus Christ is what marks you as righteous and holy.

…Don’t
think you are better than you really are. Be honest in your evaluation of
yourselves, measuring yourselves by the faith God has given us.
