Every culture and government throughout history has faced the issue of racism and unjust resentment toward others who are different. Racism is characteristic and evident of the sinful nature of man. Fallen mankind has always built barriers and ostracized others. This exclusion stems from pride: a fallen man’s predilection to believe he or she is superior to another in some way. In this regard, racism parades around with his ugly brother who goes by the name arrogance. At its core, racism is a heart issue—a dilemma with no solution apart from Christ’s regenerative work in a person’s heart.

In fact, the Bible’s test for the veracity of genuine faith is the absence of racism. John 13:35 says, “By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.” Jesus’ command here stems beyond loving our own kind.

This week let us examine some biblical insights regarding racism.
