In God's eyes, all people have equal value and worth, regardless of their background or circumstances. The book of Galatians emphasizes that there is no distinction between different groups of people, as all are one in Christ. The prophet Jeremiah was called by God from before his birth, demonstrating that one's perceived inferiority is not a hindrance to being used by God. Additionally, the wisdom of Job and the instructions in Deuteronomy highlight the importance of trusting in God's power and wisdom, rather than human strength or abilities, as seen in 1 Corinthians where Paul's message was not based on human wisdom but on God's power.

The word of the LORD came to me, saying: “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” “Ah, Lord GOD,” I said, “I surely do not know how to speak, for I am only a child!” But the LORD told me: “Do not say, ‘I am only a child.’ For to everyone I send you, you must go, and all that I command you, you must speak. Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you to deliver you,” declares the LORD. Then the LORD reached out His hand, touched my mouth, and said to me: “Behold, I have put My words in your mouth. See, I have appointed you today over nations and kingdoms to uproot and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and plant.”
When you go out to war against your enemies and see horses, chariots, and an army larger than yours, do not be afraid of them; for the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, is with you. When you are about to go into battle, the priest is to come forward and address the army, saying to them, “Hear, O Israel, today you are going into battle with your enemies. Do not be fainthearted or afraid; do not be alarmed or terrified because of them. For the LORD your God goes with you to fight for you against your enemies, to give you the victory.”
