MARTIN LUTHER KING JUNIOR SAID, "I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character"
Men and women everywhere should believe like Martin Luther King Jr.. Not because of this belief alone, but because of something else. The Bible spoke that such a day of judgment irrespective of a man's skin color, was forthcoming, regardless of the courts of Earth. This is what the Bible calls the day of judgment.
On this day, not only will the color of our skin be unable to save us, or condemn us, but so to our family, our friends, our money, our God-given level of intelligence, or strength. Even being anti-racism, will not save you. God has given us each talents, gifts, and abilities, and each of us has a propensity for sins of all kinds and various degrees--secretive or exposed. Likewise, each of us will stand naked before a God before Whom all things are laid bare, to give an account of ourselves alone without anyone or anything else to make our defense. Yet, there will be no defense we can offer, for He knows us to our utmost.
The book of Revelation speaks of that day having a "book of life" wherein those who believed in the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, having the same faith of Abraham would have their names written. This God, who sent His Son Jesus to die for the sins of the world. Those who are in this book are there because they are saved from their sins by Him, through faith (not of works lest any man should boast), and those who are not in that book will be judged according to his or her own works. It says in Revelation 20:12-14,
"And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to what they had done. And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them, and they were judged, each one of them, according to what they had done. Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire."
Martin Luther King, for all his advocacy for rights being made equal on Earth irrespective to the color of a man's skin, and had a dream that on this Earth it would be realized, believed foremost that God would indeed judge each person according to his deeds and not His skin, someday. That judgment will be 100%, condemnation for all sinners who die in their sins, and unless that person's name is in the book of life, will be damned.
While it is good to believe like Martin Luther King Jr. about the equality of people irrespective of their skin, it is not enough to save you, and many who believe in equality will be doomed in their unbelief that left them "holding the bag" of their own many other sins that find each one of us guilty apart from HIS WORK.
Do not just have a dream, but have salvation.
"For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him. For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” (Romans 10:11-13)
