Blessing In Diversity

Scripture: Genesis 2:19-22

Genesis 2:19–20 NASB95

19 Out of the ground the Lord God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the sky, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them; and whatever the man called a living creature, that was its name. 20 The man gave names to all the cattle, and to the birds of the sky, and to every beast of the field, but for Adam there was not found a helper suitable for him.

Genesis 2:21–22 NASB95

21 So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; then He took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh at that place. 22 The Lord God fashioned into a woman the rib which He had taken from the man, and brought her to the man.

God Created It

When we woke up this morning we were able to see the different colors of the trees and the flowers and the houses. In the Bible Jesus healed many blind men. What was it that they wanted to see?

Man Confuse it

This country is still in the midst of the death of George Floyd due to prejudice of the color of his skin. Prejudice and racism is a sin. Man see the blessings of diversity as a means to demean others, abuse them and kill them. God dont see the way we do.

1 Samuel 16:7 NASB95

7 But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”

2 Chronicles 19:7 NASB95

7 “Now then let the fear of the Lord be upon you; be very careful what you do, for the Lord our God will have no part in unrighteousness or partiality or the taking of a bribe.”

Galatians 5:14–15 NASB95

14 For the whole Law is fulfilled in one word, in the statement, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 15 But if you bite and devour one another, take care that you are not consumed by one another.

Ezekiel 18:32 NASB95

32 “For I have no pleasure in the death of anyone who dies,” declares the Lord God. “Therefore, repent and live.”

1 John 4:20–21 NASB95

20 If someone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for the one who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen. 21 And this commandment we have from Him, that the one who loves God should love his brother also.

Christ died for it

8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
