“There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female,
for you are all one in Christ Jesus.”
Galatians 3:28

We live in a world filled with division—political, cultural, and yes, racial.

Headlines remind us constantly: injustice, misunderstanding, and hate.

Yet, for followers of Jesus, the conversation around race and reconciliation is not optional. It’s foundational. Why? Because the gospel compels us to see people not through the lens of skin color or cultural background, but through the lens of Christ.

Racism, at its core, is rooted in pride. It’s the belief that our group is superior to another. That superiority leads to prejudice, fear, and eventually division. But God’s Word tells us something different. It reminds us that all people, from every race and background, are created in the image of God. And when we are in Christ, we are ONE.

So, where do we begin?

We pray.
We ask God to search our hearts and reveal any hidden prejudice.

We listen.
We build relationships with those whose experiences differ from our own. We seek to understand, not just to be understood.

We speak up.
Not to win arguments, but to build bridges.

And most of all, we remember that reconciliation starts with the cross. Until we are first reconciled to God through Jesus, our attempts to reconcile with one another will always fall short in our attempt to find oneness in Christ.

But when Jesus becomes our primary identity—above our race, our background, even our opinions-we begin to see others not as “them,” but as people created in the image of God.

Like you.
