WE ARE ALL ONE IN CHRIST

“For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.” Galatians 3:27-28 (KJV)

Christianity is not a myth. It is a real life! Christianity is a real relationship with a living being. It is a life that is liveable if you truly understand what transpired on your behalf. Jesus was placed on the cross to die with His hands stretched, calling both the Jews and the Gentiles and bringing them together to form a new creation. Jesus was saying in essence: “Look, I am going to give birth to a new creation where there will be no Jew, no Gentile, no ethnicity, no race, no tribe, no male, and no female.” We are all one in Christ. We are new creations. He brought all of us together. When you understand this, it will change your entire lifestyle.

When you understand the fact that we are all one in Christ, tribe, colour, and race will all be insignificant. All that will matter to you is that the person is born again. Unfortunately, many people do not understand this fact and will align with their tribe against other believers. Ignoring the finished work of Calvary will make you put the colour of your skin above your brother or sister in the faith. If ANY MAN be in Christ, the Bible says, He is a NEW CREATION. The New Creation is not a native of any country or continent. The New Creation considers Heaven the home, and nothing else matters.

Therefore, it doesn’t matter where you come from; your first allegiance, as a Christian, is to your new creation position, and that should determine the position you take in anything in life. Place your new creation identity ahead of your tribal identity. This is how Christ expects us to function.
