SALVATION FOR EVERYONE
WHO BELIEVES IN JESUS CHRIST
(Galatins 3:23-29)
"So in Christ Jesus you are all children of Godm through faith, for all of you who were baptized into Christn have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free,p nor is there male and female,q for you are all one in Christ Jesus. If you belong to Christ,s then you are Abraham’s seed,t and heirsu according to the promise."(Galatains 3:26-29)
In Galatians 3:28, Christains are christians, there is no difference when it comes to being in Christ. There are no ethnic groups, economic or job placement difference, no social ladder, or gender distinctions in the church In our salvation,God treats everyone the same Paul writes of the —Jew, gentile, male, female, slave, and free are all the same, they all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23) all need a Savior to save them (Acts 3:19; 17:30). all have the freedom of choice and need to believe in Jesus (Romans 3:22-24; 10:9-12) We are all saved by grace and grace aone through our faith in God (Ephesians 2:8-9). Yes, “In Christ Jesus [we] are all children of God through faith” (Galatians 3:26). Whether male or female, rich or poor, Jews or gentiles, we’re part of the “great multitude . . . from every nation, tribe, people and language” (Revelation 7:9) we will all stand before God’s throne in heaven and we will all bow before Him proclaiming He is the Lord of Lords and the King of Kings and that, “Salvation belongs to Him, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb” (v. 10).
As a young Christian I felt God was asking me to lay down my idol of loving my hoses more than Him. To this day, I still love horses, but they do not come before the service to my Lord. God replaced that strong love from the horses to people, and my hearts desire was to take the love of God to my world, the world the Lord lead me into. Oh, I still enjoy watching the horse races, Chuckwagons and chariots and the barrel racing. But my heart is truly stirred every time I hear of the people who are lost and dying in their sin. I love all people of all nations, but I have a love for Rwanda and Canada as that is where I have servved. I really love it when a group of people from different nations are together and they are singing old gospel hymns. After being in the North and leading a small church, and then coming out to conference and hear all the missionaries singing together, it always brought tears to my eyes and gave me a desire to be in heaven praising God together for all eternity. What an amazing time that is going to be. It was always a sweet taste of heaven on earth (Revelation 7:9)
So my friends, today as we face trials in our world, let us remember who we are, we are fellow believers in Christ, we belong to God’s family we are brothers and sisters in the Lord and we are all a part of His family, our name is CHRISTAIN AND WE WILL STAND TOGETHER AS ONE. “So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith” (Galatians 3:26). “There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus” (v. 28). No matter where we’re from or where we live, let’s rejoice that as believers we’re one in Christ with our brothers and sisters around the world. God is our Father, all cleansed by one blood, Jesus blood.
Heavenly Father, thank You for making me one in Christ with other believers around the world. Loed, I love the feeling that I get, when I get together with fellow believers. Thank you Lord, for support and love as we meet together in prayer and fellowship. I look forward to the day, we will all stand before you. In your name I pray AMEN
