    C. Future Promise

    It is at this point that we can thank God sincerely and deeply for what He has done for us through the words and work of His messenger, and even for what He will yet do.EGWUTRW 33.2

    We, the repository of God’s “present truth,” the Seventh-day Adventist Church, have the ever-present forum to mirror the spirit of Christ exhibited in love and unity in the area of race relations. In our day such a spirit will be a witness and drawing power, and will be a rebuke to the negative emotions of prejudice that are evident in the world around us.EGWUTRW 33.3

    In summary we are challenged with the words of unity by Ellen White and Christ Himself:EGWUTRW 33.4

    When the Holy Spirit moves upon human minds ... in our worship of God there will be no distinction between rich and poor, white and black. All prejudice will be melted away. When we approach God, it will be as one brotherhood. We are pilgrims and strangers, bound for a better country, even a heavenly. There all pride, all accusation, all self-deception, will forever have an end. Every mask will be laid aside, and we shall “see him as he is.” There our songs will catch the inspiring theme, and praise and thanksgiving will go up to God. 2Race Relations, p. 121.

    May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me (John 17:23 NIV). 3The prayer of Christ concerning His desire for the unity of His followers is the ultimate confrontation to prejudice in all of its forms and is a powerful challenge’ to promote human and religious brotherhood.
