So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
Galatians 3:26-28
We live in a world where people are constantly frowned upon based on their religion, upbringing, and color of skin or nationality. The same things that plague our communities today are the same things that existed at the time of this letter written by the Apostle Paul. It is through today’s devotion that we are reminded that Christ justifies every walk of life to be clothed with Him in and through Faith… Your economic status nor your popularity has any impact on your heavenly dwelling… It is only through Christ Jesus that we have life and have it more abundantly… This message today is an important one as we all at some point in time have felt or have been deemed unqualified... To understand that there is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free teaches us that your former doesn’t have to restrict your latter in Christ…
Yes, we all have done things that we are not proud of; we all have missed the mark and fallen short of the glory of God… Your path may be different from mine, you may have come to know Christ through a much different route than I, but the end of both of our days will be the same in that we will be caught up to meet Him in the air; to spend Eternity with Him… Today, don’t write off your peers based on their past, don’t think more highly of yourself than you ought to because without Christ you are nothing, but through Him, all things are possible (the wayward, lost, and confused soul can still be saved and inherit Eternal Life through Christ)… There is an equation that fits this passage which again speaks to the fact that we are equal with Christ and equal without Him… No Christ = No Heaven, Know Christ = Know Heaven…
ALL FOR HIS GLORY!
