Galatians 3:28
“There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is no male and female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.”
The apostle Paul wrote this letter to the churches in Galatia, likely around the mid-1st century CE. He was addressing a controversy about whether Gentile (non-Jewish) believers needed to follow Jewish law to truly belong to God's people. This verse is part of his argument that all believers are united by faith in Christ, not by social distinctions or adherence to specific laws.
What social identities or categories in your own life or community feel like barriers, and how might this passage challenge those divisions?
