Is God A Racist?

Posted by: iluvJesus in: ● August 26, 2009

Some says that God is a racist as He chose to save the nation Israel. He says he is the God of Israel,…

God/Jesus is not a racist.

The forefather of the Israel nation is Abram, whom God later renamed him Abraham. God saved Abraham before Israel is even a nation (Genesis 12). Abraham was saved by God and known to be righteous simply because he believed in God. Abraham’s son is Issac. One of Issac’s son is Jacob. Jacob has struggled with God and had overcome, hence God renamed him “Israel”. Israel means struggling with God.

God granted the free gift of salvation to Abraham as he believe in God. Then Abraham’s descendants increase in number and has become a nation: Israel. When Jesus came, he comfirmed that salvation is from Jews (John 4) and it does not end there. Jesus has asked us to make disciples of ALL nations (Matthew 28:19) as whoever believe in God would be saved (Acts 15).

ACTS 15

8God, who knows the heart, showed that he accepted them by giving the Holy Spirit to them, just as he did to us. 9He made no distinction between us (Israelites) and them (non-Israelites or gentiles), for he purified their hearts by faith. 10Now then, why do you try to test God by putting on the necks of the disciples a yoke that neither we nor our fathers have been able to bear? 11No! We believe it is through the grace of our Lord Jesus that we are saved, just as they are.

Friends, God is not a racist and anyone who truly believes in God/Jesus can be saved.
