The Scriptures focus more on ethnic groups, nations, tribes, and languages rather than the contemporary notion of race based on physical characteristics. The Bible emphasizes the unity and equality of all human beings as created by God. Creation and Unity of Humanity The Bible begins with the creation of humanity in the image of God. <a href="/genesis/1-27.htm">Genesis 1:27</a> states, "So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them." This foundational truth establishes the inherent dignity and worth of every human being, regardless of ethnic or cultural background. The unity of humanity is further emphasized in <a href="/acts/17-26.htm">Acts 17:26</a> , where Paul, speaking in Athens, declares, "From one man He made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and He determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their lands." This passage underscores the common ancestry of all people and God's sovereign plan for the diversity of nations. Diversity and God's Sovereign Plan Throughout the Bible, there is recognition of the diversity of peoples and nations. The Table of Nations in <a href="/bsb/genesis/10.htm">Genesis 10</a> outlines the descendants of Noah's sons and the spread of nations across the earth. This diversity is part of God's design and serves His purposes in history. The Old Testament often refers to various ethnic groups, such as the Israelites, Egyptians, Canaanites, Moabites, and others. These distinctions are primarily cultural and national rather than racial. God's covenant with Israel was not based on racial superiority but on His sovereign choice and purpose (<a href="/deuteronomy/7-6.htm">Deuteronomy 7:6-8</a>). The Gospel and the Breaking Down of Barriers The New Testament reveals the breaking down of ethnic and cultural barriers through the Gospel of Jesus Christ. In <a href="/ephesians/2-14.htm">Ephesians 2:14-16</a> , Paul writes, "For He Himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has torn down the dividing wall of hostility. By abolishing in His flesh the law of commandments and decrees, He did this to create in Himself one new man out of the two, thus making peace, and reconciling both of them to God in one body through the cross, by which He extinguished their hostility." The early church grappled with issues of ethnic division, particularly between Jews and Gentiles. The Council of Jerusalem in <a href="/bsb/acts/15.htm">Acts 15</a> addressed these tensions, affirming that salvation through Jesus Christ is available to all, without distinction. The Vision of Unity in Revelation The Bible culminates in a vision of ultimate unity and diversity in the book of Revelation. <a href="/revelation/7-9.htm">Revelation 7:9</a> describes a scene in heaven: "After this I looked and saw a multitude too large to count, from every nation and tribe and people and tongue, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and holding palm branches in their hands." This vision reflects the fulfillment of God's redemptive plan, where people from every ethnic background are united in worship of the Lamb, Jesus Christ. It highlights the inclusivity of the Gospel and the eternal significance of diversity within the body of Christ. Conclusion While the Bible does not address race in the modern sense, it provides a framework for understanding the unity and diversity of humanity. All people are created in the image of God, and through Christ, the barriers that divide are broken down, leading to a vision of eternal unity among all nations and peoples.<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div>Race[<a href="../g/games.htm">GAMES</a>]<a name="amt" id="amt"></a><div class="vheading2">ATS Bible Dictionary</div>Race<a href="/psalms/19-5.htm">Psalm 19:5</a> <a href="/ecclesiastes/9-11.htm">Ecclesiastes 9:11</a>. Various games were instituted among the Greeks and Romans, in honor of their gods, and with the design of training young men to personal vigor and activity, and to intrepidity and skill in war. These games were celebrated at stated places and times, with great pomp; renowned statesmen, legislators, and kings engaged in them; and it was deemed the highest of all honors to be crowned with a simple chaplet of laurel, olive, pine, or parsley, in the presence of the vast assemblage of witnesses who delighted to honor the victor. The preparatory training was very severe, and every weakening indulgence was forbidden. Among the most famous games were those celebrated on the isthmus of Corinth, hence called the Isthmian games; and to these Paul alludes in his letters to Corinth, <a href="/context/1_corinthians/9-24.htm">1 <a href="/context/1_corinthians/9-24.htm">1 Corinthians 9:24-27</a></a>. The foot race was a game of the first rank; other games were the chariot-race, wrestling, boxing, leaping, and throwing the quoit or the javelin. The foot-race well illustrates the Christian warfare, the sacrifices to be made, the diligent bringing the body under subjection, the laying aside every weight, the myriads of spectators lining the course, and among them those previously crowned victors, the exhausting efforts required, (from which the word agonize is derived,) and the glorious prize, <a href="/philippians/3-13.htm">Philippians 3:13</a> <a href="/context/2_timothy/4-7.htm">2 Timothy 4:7</a>,8 <a href="/hebrews/12-1.htm">Hebrews 12:1</a>. <a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
