Mission America - September 2017 ed. 02 eNewsletter

Right after the Charlottesville riots, I had coffee with a long-time friend and she reminded me of a key point faithful Christians need to remember-- there is really no such thing as race.

Race or ethnic differences are essentially just variations in personal appearance and sometimes, physical/genetic characteristics. It’s true that specific population groups show heritability of certain traits.

Yet these are not substantive differences and the elevation of race to a place of identity and critical importance is a man-made issue, not one that originates with our Creator God.

In fact, “race” is a cherished evolutionary concept, one historically put forward as a justification by eugenicists, supremacists, and those who want to divide and conquer, not share a common humanity. Most proponents of natural selection posit racism in one form or another.

Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood and an avid fan of eugenics, advocated birth control as a method of, as she said, “weeding out the unfit” and “defectives.”

True followers of the Lord reject evolutionary concepts as incompatible with the purposes and power of God and the testimony of His word that He is the Creator of the original humans, Adam and Eve. Jesus is the Savior of all who choose to believe, and the ultimate answer to human sin and division of every kind.

Jesus is our Savior from our common fallen nature. Each of us must make the decision to repent and embrace Him as Savior with Scripture pointing the way to real peace and reconciliation in Colossians 1: 19-20. Referring to Jesus, it says: “For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell, and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross.”

The red blood of Christ, the Prince of Peace who hung on the cross of Calvary, atones for our sins if we repent and believe, and this is the source of true peace. Not white supremacy, black supremacy, or any tyranny devised by humans.
