Is prejudice rooted in the sins of idolatry and pride?
The Lord admonished the prideful and conceited nature of man when He told his listeners,"Be on your guard against the leaven of the Pharisees which is hypocrisy." Luke 21:1
God is not going to judge us on the color of our skin, or our race, or our ability to absorb knowledge. God's concern is with the condition of our hearts.
The Lord's greatest desire is to see all His children, called forth from every race and nation, Jew and Gentile alike, come together to worship Him in spirit and in truth, as the Unblemished Bride of Messiah.
"For you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a dedicated nation, God's own, purchased, special people; that you may set forth the wonderful deeds and display the virtues and perfections of Him Who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light." 1Peter 2:9
Called "out of darkness into His marvelous light"
An awesome thought, indeed!
