When Christ redeemes his people we are brought into a new family. In part, what that means is that our solidarity is not to “our race” or “my people-based on skin color.” Our ultimate identity is hidden in Christ. We die to self and Christ lives in us, & through us.
When we come to faith in Christ all our credentials and or racial pride is dung compared to our union with Christ and the unity we have with our brothers and sisters (of all ethnicities).
This does not mean that we can never be “proud” of Gods providence in creating us with the ethnicity that he gave us. For example, I am “proud” to be a PR 🇵🇷. However, my identity is hidden in Christ, and not in being a PR. I am now a NEW CREATION. The old has passed away!
This is freeing for the Christian because it gives us a message of TRUE, spiritual liberation for the weary sinner, who is in bondage to their sinful nature. That freeing & life giving message is-Kiss the Son (Ps.2). Look to Christ (Isa 45:22)
Come to Christ and He will relive you of the heavy weights of sin you are carrying. (Matt11:28). Confess your sin to a Holy God & repeat. Come to Christ today and He will free you free all your idols, including the idol of skin color. #repent #wokechurch #looktochrist
