Are we all one in Christ

[guysmith]

Are we all one in Christ, or are there special privileges to those born of Jewish parents?

Romans 3:9
What shall we conclude then? Are we any better ? Not at all! We have already made the charge that Jews and Gentiles alike are all under sin.


Galatians 3:28
There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

 

[Blazin Bones]

I think Tina's post sheds some good light on the subject. Since we are all sinners, I think we all qualify as the least.

 

[NestForASparrow]

For those of us who sincerely believe, yes.

 

[oi_antz]

We are one with Christ in spirit, there is only one spirit of God, therefore those of us who have The Holy Spirit are one in spirit and can never disagree on matters of truth when we are all being honest and holy. Anyone else who has a spirit not of God will inevitably find some points of disagreement because only God has the whole truth and therefore we as Christians all possess our own means of access to that truth through our relationship with The Father and our readings of The Holy Bible.

 

[Logos57]

When we receive the Holy Spirit we are adopted in the family of God, we become heirs, Gentile and Jews alike.
Galatians 4:6-7
6) And because yue are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
7) Wherefore thou aret no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then a heir of God through Christ. see also Romans 8:14-18


Ephesians 2:12-22
12) That at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world,
13) But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.
14) For He is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of parition between us.
15) Having abolished in His flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in the ordinanaces; for to make in Himself of twain one new man, so making peace.
16) And that He might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:
17) And came and preached peace to you which were afar off, and to them that were nigh.
18) For though HIm we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.
19) Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;
20) And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief corner stone;
21) In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:
22) In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.
So yes, in Christ we are one, for it is a high priviledge to be born Jewish, but even so much better to be born again (John 3:3; 7), for we are made heir of Christ--Abraham's seed. (Galatians 3:27-29)
