S – There is no Jew or Greek, slave or free, male and female; since you are all one in Christ Jesus.
Galatians 3:28 CSB
O – Commentary:
Paul emphasizes that the standard categories that often divide people—race, social status, gender—do not apply to those who are in Christ. It is not that such criteria cease to exist; rather, these distinctions are not grounds for exclusion from the life that God offers to all people in Christ. Because God is one (v. 20), He seeks to establish through Christ a single, unified family
A – Culture wants to divide and assign people to certain ideologies and qualities. God wants a body that is unified. We cannot disqualify what God has called them to do based on how they look, their race or their place in life.
R – Lord, thank you for the rich diversity that is in your body of believers. You make us so different. Yet, you form us to come together as one. Help us to work through our differences so that we can stand together in sharing your love with a world that so desperately needs it.
