Why is Christianity not a “white man’s religion?” Provide a Scripture passage to support your answer.

God created everyone, individually, for a special purpose. Ephesians 2:10 “10 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.”

Romans 3:23 explains that “all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” Everyone is in need of a savior and Jesus does not discriminate based on skin color. Furthermore, Revelation 7:9 describes the scene of “a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands,” and supports the assertions made in Romans. The Bible is clear: there is no distinction between humanity as it relates to the reality of sin and the necessity of belief in Jesus.

The Bible is clear that we are all made in the image of God (Gen 1:9). So, no race looks more like God than any other race.
The Bible is also clear that all nationalities are under the power of sin (Rom 3: 8). So, no race acts the way God wants us to behave. -
There is nothing in the Bible to encourage someone to put one group of people or one race above another race We are all made in the image and likeness of God. Ref Gen 1and James 3

Genesis 1 and 2 which chronicles the account of creation have no room for racism. What was important is that God created man and woman, and described them as good. Racism has no place in the Christian faith. This view is fortified in that even in the New Testament, the distinction between Jews and Gentiles is said to be torn down by those who call Jesus Savior and Lord. It is one body, one Spirit, one hope, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all as Paul described in Ephesians 4:4-6
