Respect, like Love, is not based on a feeling.  It is a choice. And, it is a choice that God wants us to make.

1 Peter 2:17 Respect everyone, and love the family of believers.

What choices are you making? Are you waiting to “feel like it?” before showing respect and love to others? Or are you willing to  love and respect because “God said so?”

What is respect?  One definition is- showing due regard for the feelings, wishes, rights or traditions of others.

Do you feel you must agree with someone to respect them? Evidently that’s not what God had in mind when He said, “Show respect to everyone.”  It is a choice.  A choice that sets the believer aprt from the unbeliever.
