My new identity in Christ

Gal 3:27For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

28There 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.

In the Kingdom of God, we don’t differ between Jews and Greeks. We don’t differ between race and culture. In the Kingdom of God we don’t differ between Bond and Free. That means we don’t differ over financial status. In the Kingdom of God we don’t differ between male and female. There is only on division in the Kingdom of God. Saved, or unsaved. Outside of Christ or inside of Christ. Baptized or not baptized. Ready or not ready. 

There is a reason why God brought all races, languages and cultures together, when he gave birth to the church on the day of Pentecost. I will build MY church, Jesus said. And MY church shall be ONE church for everyone. In my church everyone will be united in me. There is no such a thing as a black church. There is no such a thing as a Norwegian church. There is no such a thing as a Filipino church. If you are born again, and if you have put on Christ, you are my brother. Then you are my sister. The moment you put on Christ, you take off your own identity. We have all received a new identity, and a new name.

There are two lessons here. Lesson one is; lets not divide what God has united. Lesson two is; lets not unite what God has divided. The division is not between male or female. The division is not between black and white. The division is between baptized or not baptized. 

Have you put on Christ? Have you made yourself one with him? Have you changed your identity? 

2 Cor 5:17Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
