Daily Devotion With Pastor Dan Nickerson August 29th, 2023
What is going on in some churches today in the USA. Christians are getting hung up on racial issues more and more, yet all these issues should have ended at the cross for anyone who calls themself a Christian. God is calling to Himself a people, “not from among the Jews only, but also from among the Gentiles.” As Paul put it in (Ephesians 2:13)…..“But now in Christ Jesus you [the Gentiles] who formerly were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.” He adds in (Ephesians 2:19)…..“So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and are of God’s household.” In heaven, there will be a great multitude “from every nation and all tribes and peoples and tongues,” crying out, “Salvation to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb” (Revelation 7:9, 10).
There will be no racism in heaven. No Critical Race Theory being taught. It will be multi-racial and multi-cultural. And so there is absolutely no place for racism in the Lord’s church today. The church should reflect the racial diversity of the community where it exists.
It’s wrong for the church to segregate according to race. We should love each other and learn from each other as a testimony of God’s grace. We are a racially blended family because we were adopted by the God who is calling His people from among the Jews and Gentiles without distinction.
