Gospel Reflections #392: We are made one in Jesus, by Jesus, through Jesus.

Galatians 3:28 “For there is no longer Jew or Greek, there is no longer slave or free, there is no longer male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. For you are all one in Christ Jesus."

What does it mean to be one in Christ Jesus?

It does not mean that in Christ Jesus we are all clones of Jesus, but rather that we are in harmony by respecting each other and loving the other as ourselves.

God has never divided us by race, social status, environment, or achievement. God has accepted and worked with each of us as precious and valuable.

The Bible clearly states, "You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.

It also says, "If you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's descendants and heirs according to the promise.

We have been incorporated into Jesus' lineage through His blood.

This lineage is not changed by our deeds or efforts.

We were offered the right to enter Jesus' lineage not by our own strength, but by His cross and resurrection, and we received that right by our faith in Him.

Our hearts are inscribed with the pedigree that we belong to Jesus.

Just as a magnifying glass focuses the sun's rays to a single point, we are made one in Jesus, by Jesus, through Jesus.
