“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.“
— Galatians 3:28 KJV
Reflection on Today's Verse
This is radical. It’s not just a feel-good statement but rather a total dismantling of how people saw identity back then—and, honestly, how we still see it now. Paul is saying that in Christ, the labels that divide us lose their power. Race, status, gender—things that once determined your worth in society—none of that defines you anymore.
Now, that doesn’t mean differences vanish. Paul isn’t erasing culture, history, or the beauty of diversity. But he’s saying those differences don’t determine our value before God. The world sorts people into categories—rich and poor, powerful and weak, included and excluded. Jesus levels the playing field.
And if that’s true, it changes how we see each other. If Christ has made us one, why do we still act like some belong more than others? Why do we hold on to divisions that He tore down? This verse calls us to live out the unity we already have in Jesus—not just in words, but in how we love, include, and stand up for each other.
Because at the end of the day, if we belong to Him, we belong to each other too.
Personal Prayer
Lord Jesus, thank You for tearing down the walls that divide us. In a world obsessed with status, labels, and differences, You remind us that we are one in You. Help me to see others the way You see them—not through the lens of race, background, or position, but through the lens of Your love.
Where my heart holds on to pride or prejudice, soften me. Where I have excluded or judged, forgive me. Teach me to love as You love—to embrace my brothers and sisters as equal members of Your family, no matter where they come from or what they look like.
Let my life reflect the unity You have already given us. Let my words and actions bring people together, not push them apart. Fill me with Your Spirit so that I may walk in humility, grace, and the deep understanding that my worth—and the worth of every person—is found in You alone.
In Your name that I pray, Amen.
