The Bible And Racism

Have you ever wondered what God thinks about racism? Does He favor certain groups or races over others? At Desert Springs Church, we clearly address these important questions through the powerful truths of Scripture.

God’s Love is Universal

The Bible clearly shows that God’s love includes all people:

• “For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.” – John 3:16

God’s love isn’t limited by race or ethnicity; His love is offered freely and fully to every person on earth.

God, the Creator of Diversity

The Bible reveals God as intentionally creative:

• “In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.” – Genesis 1:1

God created humanity with rich diversity—different appearances, personalities, and cultures—each uniquely valuable and loved.

No Favoritism with God

God’s stance against favoritism and racism is unmistakably clear:

• “God does not show favoritism but accepts men from every nation.” – Acts 10:34-35

• “God desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.” – 1 Timothy 2:4

Everyone is equally important in God’s eyes, regardless of background or appearance.

Embracing Your Unique Identity

Rather than comparing ourselves to others, we should celebrate and embrace the unique way God created each of us:

• Be thankful for who you are, recognizing your value as a creation of God.

• Accept and appreciate the differences in others, seeing each person as uniquely designed and loved by God.

Your Identity in Christ

The greatest fulfillment comes through accepting Jesus Christ into your life:

• “Be who God made you to be, but accept Christ in your life, and you can become the best you that God made you to be.”

Receiving Jesus not only transforms your relationship with God but empowers you to become the fullest version of yourself.
