About This Quote
God doesn’t discriminate, and neither does the Bible. In fact, the Bible makes it clear that God is our Creator and Savior for all people without exception. God’s love is universal and He desires that we be saved from our sinful nature. In order to accomplish this, God had to reach out to everyone in a way that evokes a response.
He had to show them His love in a way that wasn’t going to be rejected. The Bible says in John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.” Thus, when you look at all of the ways God has designed to rescue sinners from their sin, you realize that every aspect of God's plan is designed to undermine racism and lead to a reconciled and redeemed humanity from every people group in the world.
