The Bible and “Race” The Bible does not even use the word race in reference to people, but it does describe all human beings as being of one blood (“from one man”) (Acts 17:26). This of course emphasizes that we are all related, as all humans are descendants of the first man, Adam (1 Corinthians 15:45), who was created in the image of God (Genesis 1:26–27). The last Adam, Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 15:45), also became a descendant of Adam. Any descendant of Adam can be saved because our mutual relative by blood (Jesus Christ) died and rose again. This is why the gospel can (and should) be preached to all tribes and nations.
