Galatians 3:28
“There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.”
Paul is writing to the churches in Galatia, likely in the mid-1st century CE. He's addressing a controversy about whether Gentile (non-Jewish) believers need to follow Jewish law, particularly circumcision, to be part of God's people. This verse is a powerful summary of his argument that identity in Christ transcends traditional distinctions.
what aspects of our identity do we find ourselves most tempted to cling to, even within communities meant to be unified?
