11 where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all. - Colossians 3:11.
In Christ there is no ethnicity. Paul did everything he could in preaching the gospel to tell us that. There is no ethnicity in God. There is a term we can use because there is three races of people in scripture.
Jew - Gentile - and New Creation race.!
That is all you can find written in scripture that God has ever dealt with. Why is Paul so adamant about race.. because by the old knowledge people believe they have a right. Paul said we don't even have a right to live. We are what and who we are by the grace of God..and that swallows up man. Everything men think they are, is overshadowed.. swallowed up in Christ. The day we live proves Paul had the right idea..men wanting to be something in themselves - and attached to a ethnic group. How can a Christian get caught in the trap - how do you suppose that can happen? The lack of preaching Paul's gospel.
We don't listen to Paul..if we could hear Paul - he straightens out all world living by Christ in you. Christ in you is not earthy - Christ in you is heavenly, and that is where Paul said our conversation and lifestyle is to be lived. Christian's are as worldly as the unregenerate without Paul's gospel. Money fame and Fortune are to be sought after, and your right - to be right. 'Well look at me I was born in this ethnic group, or that ethnic group.' There is no ethnic groups in Christ that is a lie.
Have you been around Christians that still hold on to they're ethnicity, as though the scripture never sheds light on the subject. I was raised in the american indian group. They feel like anybody else concerning their rights. You have no right..we have written so elegantly by our beloved Apostle Paul. That is in your flesh..that deceptive and deceived mind of the knowledge of Good and evil. It is not written in Paul's epistles..if you want a right you must take it because it is not offered to you. Quite the opposite; Paul places the believer in Christ on the cross..it is written.
I'm crucified with Christ. The only life you have is Christ. That does not mean God cannot use you in your ethnic group. He can because you may know them better than anyone else. I talk with my group from time to time - it's like pulling teeth if you do not read Paul. So the world heats up in a hot bed of ethnicity. Who cares what country your from. There is no color in God - what there is is billions and billions of containers chosen to be in Christ before the foundation of the world!
That is all you can see in Paul's Gospel! What did Paul give up? God will not take my ignorance away - but he allows believers to surrender it! Love choices, decisions made out of your love for God - more than a love for self.
