One in Christ

 Scripture:

“There is no longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male and female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus.”‭Galatians‬ ‭3‬:‭28‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Observation:

Paul is writing here to the Galatians, who were falling back into Judaism. In this passage he tells them that in Christ, all are equal. Jews and Gentiles, slaves and free people, male and female, are all equal in Christ.

Application:

Christ levels the playing field for all who follow Him. You could add to Paul’s words, “rich and poor, black and white, Latino and Asian, educated and uneducated, and much, much more.” When we come to Christ, all are created equal. On this 4th of July, we need to remember in America that all are created equal and are valued in the eyes of the Father. We must never look down on another person, because in Christ we are all equal.

Prayer:

Father, help me to live bringing value to every individual, regardless of race, economic status, educational level, or anything else. Help me to love everyone the way You love everyone. Teach me to honor others, who don’t look like me. Let my life bring unity wherever You send me.

Yours Forever,

Jeff
