One Race, One Blood

This is the biblical view of Mankind. We are all of one race made from one blood:

“God made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation.” Acts 17:26

Men and Women are made in the image of God:

“”So God created man [Mankind, the Human Race] in his own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them.” Genesis 1:27

God loves all of Mankind through Christ: “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16

Every Kindred [family or clan] tongue, people, and nation is represented as they worship God in His kingdom:

“And they sang a new song, saying, ‘Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for Thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by Thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation‘….” Revelation 5:9

To Christians He specifically gives this command:

“These things I command you, that ye love one another.” John 15:17

Every life is precious to God and God knows you intimately even if you don’t know Him:

1 “Lord, You have searched me and known me! 2 You know when I sit down and when I rise up; You discern my thoughts from afar. 3 You search out my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways. 4 Even before a word is on my tongue, behold, O Lord, You know it altogether.

5 “You hem me in, behind and before, and lay Your hand upon me. 6  Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high; I cannot attain it.

7 ” Where shall I go from Your Spirit? Or where shall I flee from Your Presence? 8  If I ascend to heaven, You are there! If I make my bed in Sheol, You are there! 9 If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, 10 even there Your hand shall lead me, and Your right hand shall hold me.

11 “If I say, ‘Surely the darkness shall cover me, and the light about me be night,’ 12 even the darkness is not dark to You; the night is bright as the day, for darkness is as light with You.

13 “For You formed my inward parts; You knitted me together in my mother’s womb. 14 I praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are Your works; my soul knows it very well.

15  “My frame was not hidden from You, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. 16 Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in Your book were written every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them.” Psalm 139: 1-16
