Please feel free to offer comments based on the questions following. May God's blessings be upon your reading and reflecting on these words of Scripture!
In this week's text the apostle Paul states the barriers that are broken down in Christ. There is a oneness that we have in Christ.
Galatians 3:23-29 "Now before faith came, we were imprisoned and guarded under the law until faith would be revealed. Therefore the law was our disciplinarian until Christ came, so that we might be justified by faith. But now that faith has come, we are no longer subject to a disciplinarian, for in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith. As many of you as were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is no longer Jew or Greek, there is no longer slave or free, there is no longer male and female; for all of you are one in Christ Jesus. And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s offspring, heirs according to the promise." NRSV
