One in Christ

You are all sons of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, and there is neither male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
– Galatians 3:26-28

Although there is a rushing tide of racial strife and division in America, I believe the body of Christ, with God’s grace and help, can turn it around. We who lay claim to biblical truth must first attack the segregation on Sunday mornings in our congregations. It is the most racially segregated time in our nation.

We, as believers in Christ, must set an example of love for one another, regardless of race. Just as aggressively as the enemy is trying to cause division, believers must uncompromisingly love one another, reaching across racial lines. Whether white, black, red, yellow, striped, or polka-dotted, we must set an example of God’s love. I pray that the only color we see is the red blood of our Savior that was shed for us all.

Holy Spirit, help us to unite, regardless of race.
