Acts 17:26 “And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth.”
In the New Testament, the Bible teaches that all people who believe in Jesus are united into one spiritual family or “race”. Although God created only one human race, the Bible tells us that there are two spiritual families. Every person on earth belongs to one of these families. We are either still separated from God because of our sins, or we have become His children through our faith in what Jesus Christ (Yeshua) did for us on the cross.
When Adam, the first human creation, sinned, the human race became separated from God, our Father in Heaven. As a result, we are born with a fallen nature; however, we’ve been given the most precious of gifts.
Romans 3:23 “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”
God, the Creator of heaven and earth, loves every person He has made. Because of that great love, our Heavenly Father sent His Son, Jesus Christ, and even though we are all sinners, He gave us the gift of eternal life through His Son. This gift can’t be bought or sold because Jesus already paid for it in full! He saved us from death and sin when He died on the cross and rose again on the 3rd day!
Romans 5:12 “Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned.
There’s nothing you or I can do to save ourselves! We are all sinners and without the gift of Salvation, bought and paid for on the cross by Jesus – Yeshua, we would all be lost! Jesus didn’t come to this world to save us from politics, war, disease, poverty, or prejudices; He came to save us from “sin”!
John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
John 3:16 did not begin at the Cross.
It began in the heart of God before the world was made.
When Jesus died on the Cross, He wasn’t beginning God’s rescue plan. He was fulfilling the promise God had already purposed before creation itself. Before God said, “Let there be light,” He already knew that humanity would choose sin. He knew the suffering that choice would bring. He also knew the price He Himself would pay to redeem us. Long before Adam reached for the forbidden fruit, God had already purposed to send His Son. Salvation was never an afterthought. It was part of God’s eternal plan of love.
1 Peter 1:19–20 but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect. 20 He was chosen before the creation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake.
Before Heavenly Father placed the first star in the Heavens, even before He created the Heavens, before He created the Earth, before He created Humankind from the dust of the Earth, He knew humanity would need a Savior. When people say that they’re seeking God, I would like you to understand that “God,” Heavenly Father, is seeking you! He loves you and wants you to be a part of His family, the sons and daughters of God. The world tells us to identify ourselves by race; Heavenly Father invites you to become part of His family.
John 1:12 Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God—
