What does the Bible say about racism?

Bible Topic · WEB

The Bible condemns racism as a sinful denial of the one Creator, the equal dignity of all people, and God’s impartial grace. Genesis 1:26-27 teaches that every human being bears God’s image, while Acts 17:26 declares that God made all nations from one man. God shows no partiality, as Romans 2:11 and Acts 10:34-35 affirm, and believers must not judge by outward appearance or practice favoritism. In Christ, ethnic and social distinctions do not determine anyone’s standing before God, for Galatians 3:28 and Romans 10:12 proclaim one Lord and one gospel for all. The church is therefore called to love sacrificially, reject partiality, and anticipate the redeemed multitude from every nation in Revelation 7:9.
