What does the Bible say about racism in the church?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible condemns racism as a sin and teaches that all believers are united in Christ regardless of ethnicity.

The Bible clearly teaches that racism and partiality are sins, particularly within the church context. In James 2, the apostle James instructs the church to avoid favoritism based on external factors like race or social status. Instead, believers are called to love one another as Christ loved us, fostering unity among the body of Christ, which transcends all ethnic divisions. Racism is an affront to God, as it denies the power of the gospel, which reconciles all people to Himself through Jesus Christ. The church must address its own issues of prejudice before attempting to influence the world.
