Acts 17:26 – He made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth.

There is only one race – the human race. If there were more than one, in the Incarnation (when the Second Person of the Trinity took on human flesh) He would only be able become one of the races of man, and die in their place. Think about that. It would mean that Jesus could not claim to be the Savior of the world, but merely the Savior of one of the races in the world, taking on only their attributes and suffering in their place. However, it is because all mankind goes back to Adam and therefore there is only one race, that Jesus can save whoever calls upon Him. This is also why we as believers take the one gospel message (without any adjustment), to every one, whatever their skin color and wherever they are located in this world. Furthermore, this is why the Bible, rightly understood and applied, IS the answer to all forms of racism.

Note in contrast the title of Charles Darwin’s vastly influential but extremely flawed book, “On the Origin of Species” – except that this was not the full title. The full title is this: “On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life.” It is simply historical fact that Evolutionary thinking provided the foundation for the Nazi idea of an Aryan “super” or “master” race and allowed them to eliminate (by the millions) others they thought were inferior or even hostile to progress.

And they sang a new song, saying, “Worthy are You to take the book and to break its seals; for You were slain, and purchased for God with Your blood men from every tribe and tongue and people and nation. “You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to our God; and they will reign upon the earth.” – Rev. 5:9,10

Lets dispense with the term “races.” There is only one race.
