Is God a racist? If He's not, then why would He oppose the interracial marriage we find in Ezra Chapter 9? Why would Ezra react so strongly when he discovers that His people are marrying outside of the people of Israel? It's true that one of the biggest decisions of life is who to spend it with in marriage, so what does God ask of us in making this important choice? It's actually not about color of their skin, their DNA, or their family history; its about the heart. Apart from Jesus, every one of us finds our heart swamped with sin of various kinds, but the same God who extends grace to the Jewish people in Ezra's time extends heart-transforming grace to us today. The gospel is good news for our sexuality and good news for our marriages!
