One last statement for those who think by now, that I am racist.
I love all my brothers and sisters in Christ, no matter which people group they are in, but that does not mean I hold back truth to massage feelings when there is sin involved. And, I will extend encouragement to anyone who walks uprightly.
Your people group is of no consequence to me whatever!!!! I do however, see character intensely because that is what is most important to me and I believe to God.
I can rebuke and admonish someone in any people group and I can also encourage anyone in any people group. If anyone thinks that I will be easier or more polite to them because of their people group, they need to think again.
God is not the respector of persons, whether it be people group, class or physical attributes.
Acts 10:34
"Opening his mouth, Peter said: "I most certainly understand now that God is not one to show partiality,"
There is no people group any better or worse than any other. No one deserves anything except death, because of our sin nature, and every individual no matter their people group, has a sinful nature and will not make it to heaven any way other than through accepting by faith the shed blood of Christ for payment for our sin.
We can whine and cry all we want over the injustice we see around us and every one of us has seen it in one form or another, after all we live in a fallen world, or we can look to Christ, the author and finisher of our lives, knowing the beginning from the end.
When our focus is Christ we interpret everything in terms of eternity rather than what we think we can get out of this life. Injustice is all around us and getting worse, it only means that we are almost finished with this life now and looking to our eternal home ought to be foremost in our thinking.
Expect injustice, pray for the answers to it, speak of it with Scriptural proof and move on. We are not here to change the world's system, but to win individuals to Christ.
