Col. 3:11
Here there is not Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free; but Christ is all and in all.
When Christ is in a person, he is a child of God. No other descriptor is important! Through grace, the indwelling Christ changes all demographics. How wonderful! Even though Christ does this, many believers still function with a great deal of partiality. They have forgotten that there is no partiality with God because Christ levels the playing field. Correspondingly, when believers are told to put to death what is earthly in them, they need to include partiality. Those who belong to Christ have put on the new self, a self that is renewed in knowledge after the image of the Creator.
Father,
Thank You for choosing me and making me Your child. Teach me how to see clearly all that You desire me to be and at the same time see others as they truly are.
In Jesus name,
Amen
