It may surprise the reader, but the Bible is SILENT on the idea that man is divided by race.
“Race” is a division engineered by man.
God’s Word mentions nations, tribes, peoples, kindreds, tongues–but NOT race.
“And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.”
–Revelation 13:7
“And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.”
–Revelation 17:15
Of course, the Bible clearly states that ALL men are of ONE blood.
“And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation.”
–Acts 17:26
Of course, once man stops believing God’s Word, man stops believing that ALL men were descended from Adam, the first man created by God.
Though the world claims the most trivial difference is “proof” that races exist and that they are irrevocably different from one another, the Bible begs to differ.
Perhaps this is because God does not see man as man sees man. God sees EACH man for what he really is: the condition of that man’s heart.
“But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.”
–1SAMUEL 16:7
“He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: he taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man. The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.”
–Psalm 147:10-11
“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.”
–Isaiah 55:8-9
So, while the WORLD may emphasize the way a person looks or the music a person enjoys listening to, God sees ALL MEN for the condition of their hearts.
There are MANY other ways the reader can know that “race” is a man-created, man-promoted idea.
“The government, for example, has determined that black people (somehow) have fewer abilities than white people, and, so, must be given certain preferences. Anyone acquainted with both black and white people knows this assessment is not only absurd but monstrous. And yet it is the law.”
—David Mamet
Can the reader think of a reason the world promotes this artificial division among men?
DOES the reader know of any who emphasize the differences between men–instead of their similarities?
DOES the reader agree with this outlook?
It is not YET too late: there is still time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16
