This is the real concept of United (One) in Christ.
There is no distinction nor discrimination in the Gospel of Christ. In the New Testament, we can see that the church is comprised of Jews and Gentiles, which means all are welcome, accepted, and permitted to worship freely with their God-given language. God is the Maker of every tribes and languages, and there is no particular language anointed nor superior tongue for worshipping God. God loves and understands Paite language as much as He loves and understands the language of Hmar, Thadou, Simte, Zou, Gangte, Mizo (Duhlian), English, Hindi, etc. For He is the Creator of them all.
Therefore, there is no people group that is more or less important in the eyes of God. For He loves them equally.
Some people often uphold their languages and their tribes too much at the cost of hating other's language or tribe, and even have the minds of intimidating or annihilating other languages, not knowing that they are also created by God. If this obsessive love for ourselves (or tribe/language) is above the message of Christ, it is wrong and is contradicted to the teaching of the Gospel of love. The greatest commandment is "to love God and to love our neighbors (others) as ourselves." So, our love for our own people, nation, or tribe should not surpass our love for the Lord and His teaching.
The Lord says, "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you." So, let us put God and His kingdom above all our worries and wishes because He is the One who is in control. Or else, we will be like Saul of the New Testament, who devoutedly wasted time and made an effort to persecute Christians thinking and hoping to eradicated them, but who actually was kicking against the goad and resulted in persecuting Jesus Christ.
Our zeals and effort will still be futile by the end of the day, and we'll be against the will of God if we do not put the will of God first.
There is no language that can play supremacy to others because God is the One who created them and sustains them.
