We are All Brothers and Sisters through Christ's Blood

“Let us make man in our image, after our likeness." - Genesis 1:26

God created man in his image out of his desire for fellowship.  One man (Adam) and one woman (Eve) were the parents of all the  races on mankind. But man separated himself from God when he chose to disobey.  Humans continued to withdraw from God and each other as time went on.

"I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions 
and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; 
avoid them." - Romans 16:17 (ESV)

Jesus Christ, the son of God, was sent to shed his blood as a sacrifice for mankind.  Through Him all may be redeemed and adopted into the family of God.  After receiving salvation, each one becomes a new brother or sister with Christ.  Members of God's family are to avoid evil and share His love.

The thief comes only to steal kill and destroy. 
I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. - John 10:10 (ESV)

Why do we continue to exacerbate human issues?  Psychology Today article, "What's the problem?" makes a suggestion.  However to solve the true problems in this world, we should read the Bible for guidance.

Whoever says he is in the light and hates his brother is still in darkness. 
Whoever loves his brother abides in the light, 
and in him there is no cause for stumbling. 
But whoever hates his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness, 
and does not know where he is going, 
because the darkness has blinded his eyes." - 1 John 2:9-11 (ESV)

In the video below, Aveda King shares that we are all part of the human race and have the same red blood.  The key is to remember this and unbiblical-ness of racism shall begin to fall away.  Until then, continue to pray for God's healing and deliverance for His sons and daughters in this world
