“Prejudice – The Anti-Gospel”

  • Prejudice
    o An unfavorable opinion or feeling formed beforehand or without knowledge, thought or reason

  • Gospel
    o Good News
     to speak as a messenger of gladness, to proclaim good news

  • Ignorance
    o Only learn and appreciate what is common to “US”

  • Pride
    o “THEY” are different and “I” am better.

  • Fear
    o “THEY” will destroy what is good for “US”

  • Hurt
    o “THEY” did something bad to “US”

  • God created one race – HUMANS.
  • God created us in His image…THAT INCLUDES EVERYONE.
  • Jesus died for EVERYONE.
  • Jesus sent us to EVERYONE.
  • EVERYONE who call on the name of the Lord will be saved (Romans 10:13)

Galatians 2:11 But when (Peter) came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned. 12 For before certain men came from James, he was eating with the Gentiles; but when they came he drew back and separated himself, fearing the circumcision party. 13 And the rest of the Jews acted hypocritically along with him, so that even Barnabas was led astray by their hypocrisy. 14 But when I saw that their conduct was not in step with the truth of the gospel, I said to (Peter) before them all, “If you, though a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you force the Gentiles to live like Jews?”

Revelation 7:9 After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, 10 and crying out with a loud voice, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” 11 And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, 12 saying, “Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God forever and ever! Amen.”
