Galatians 3:28 There 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.
That’s not hard to understand. Our identity is Jesus Christ! Not Jew. Not Greek. Not bond. Not free. Not male or female. We are one in Christ, sister.
Galatians 3:29 And
if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and
heirs according to the promise.
Personally, I vehemently loathe
ANY teaching that attempts to
weaken,
diminish,
dissolve,
damage,
desecrate, or
downplay my new life specifically in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ.
I recommend you faithfully keep proclaiming the message of Christ who is now our life and faithfully direct this gentleman, or anyone else for that matter, to the
ONE who is preeminent in all things. The
ONE in whom we are complete.
What then is the promise? I am in Christ and now a
CHRISTIAN by faith. Faith is the link we have with Abraham.
Not national heritage.
Romans 4:13 For the
promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but
through the righteousness of faith.
Romans 4:16 Therefore it is
of faith, that it might be
by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but
to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,
Galatians 3:14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the
Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that
we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
Jesus alone, sister Jassy. The truth will set him free.
