For All of You are One In Christ

I don’t usually like using verses from the Scriptures out of context, but sometimes I do. This is going to be a very short post because I simply wanted to a share a couple verses from Saint Paul’s Epistle to the Galatians which was most likely written anywhere between 40 AD to 60 AD according to scholars. The reason I wanted to share these two verses is because they are evidence that from the very beginning of the Faith, Paul was already exhorting with relevance to ecumenism regardless of whom or what anyone was. Anyhow, I won’t do the research for us this time, but I definitely think these verses are food for thought. The following are the two verses in reference. Blessings and I hope you enjoy!

Galatians 3: 28

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus (RSV Bible).

Galatians 5: 6

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision is of any avail, but faith working through love (RSV Bible).
