I have been reading,praying,listening,and even attending a study on race.What I have been led to believe is Jesus himself addresses this very topic throughout the bible and how we are to "see" with his heart not our eyes.ALL are loved and he desires ALL.We are ALL made in his image.I will not pretend to know better than my Lord and Saviour.Sometimes maybe we are scared because others seem so odd and different to us,but then I am odd and different too.When Jesus healed the lepers and the one that came back was a foreigner and of the widows again the one a foreigner.It is not up to me in any way to decide who is His. My prayer that I know God hears is that through the power He has in me and through me that I will love ALL like He did .. and still does :D

"So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise." Galatians 3:26-29

Amen! God is no respecter of persons -- Praise Him that His freely given gift of salvation is open to all who accept it, regardless of race, color, nationality, family traditions, etc. "Whosoever" shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved!

God is no respecter of persons as far as nationality or race is concerned (Acts 10:34). When it comes to sin and salvation, "there is no difference" (Romans 2:11; 3:22-23; 10:1-13). We all have the same Creator (Acts 17:26)and all need the same Savior (Acts 4:12).

And another hearty AMEN!! Now when we can truly walk in that, then the world shall see what Christ meant, when in His word - they shall know you are My disciples, by your love one for another (no special determining factor stated). But unfortunately, we still treat some as 'second class', who are scarred by previous events both before, and after becoming one of His chosen. Line upon line, we shall get there, as a body.....like His body, broken, yet beautiful, due to the light that shines from within, His Spirit in us.
