What does the Bible say about cultural diversity?

Bible Topic · WEB

The Bible teaches that God created all peoples from one human family, welcomes them in Christ, and calls his church to display unity amid real cultural difference. Acts 17:26-28 affirms God’s sovereign purpose in establishing nations, while Galatians 3:28 and Colossians 3:11 proclaim that ethnic, social, and cultural distinctions do not determine anyone’s standing before God. Through the gospel, believers become one body in Christ with different gifts and backgrounds, as 1 Corinthians 12:12-30 teaches. Revelation 7:9-10 gives a glorious vision of redeemed people from every nation worshiping the Lamb together. Christians therefore should pursue humility, peace, mutual honor, and gospel-shaped love rather than pride, partiality, or contempt.
