In God's eyes, all people are equal and valued, regardless of their ethnic or cultural background. The apostle Paul emphasized this in Galatians, where he wrote that in Christ, distinctions between different groups become irrelevant. The book of Acts records how the early Christian church welcomed people from diverse nations, as seen in Peter's vision in Acts 10 and Paul's speech in Athens, where he noted that God made every nation from one blood. Ultimately, Revelation envisions a heavenly gathering of people from every tribe, tongue, and nation, united in worship and praise.

For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.
