Against Racism

Genesis 1:26-31 NIV  [emphasis added]

26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”
27 So God created mankind in his own image,
    in the image of God he created them;
    male and female he created them.

...
31 God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day.
 

When you disparage an individual/a group of people, when you despise them, when you discriminate even just one of them, you are actually doing the exact same things to God. 


When you insult and mock an individual/a group of people, and think they are of no value, again, you are defying what the Lord has done and said, "God SAW all that he had made, and it was VERY GOOD."

Love everyone, rebuke what is unrighteous (the actions only, NOT the person).
