One last time, we will return to our main text of Galatians 3:28: “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for Ye Are All One In Christ Jesus.”

After briefly summarizing the identity of the members who make up “the church, the Body of Christ,” Paul concludes with our unity, “For ye are all one in Christ Jesus.” Just as Jesus Christ desired unity amongst His Messianic Jewish kingdom believers, saying “That they [of Israel] all may be one” (John 17:16), God wants unity in “the Church, the Body of Christ,” but as we observe there are those of the false compromised Christendom offering a counterfeit Christianity today just as there were in the days of the Apostle Paul. The great contradiction is that the church, since Roman Emperor Constantine in 312AD, fell away from the truth of Paul thirteen epistles to the Gentile “body of Christ,” and with that they have lost the unique truth that is for us today in this age of the pure “grace of God” extended to all men, since now all men of all races are today seen as Gentiles.

Please understand, we should not and do not sacrifice doctrinal truth for the sake of a false unity! We may be sociable with all men but we can only have genuine “fellowship” with likeminded Pauline dispensational Christians (2 Cor. 6:14-18; cf. Rom. 16:17-18; 1 Tim. 6:3-6). Paul refers to our union with Christ, the Triune God-head and each other as believers “as the fellowship [or communion] of the mystery [Grk. musterion, a secret, the former secret plan of God for humanity].”

If you have trusted in Christ Jesus alone as your personal Saviour, then these seven doctrinal facts below unite you with every other member of “the Body of Christ.” This represents the “[seven-fold] unity of the Spirit”;

“[4] There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;

[5] One Lord, one faith, one baptism [dry], [6] One God and Father of all [of His seeded children], who is above all, and through all, and In You All” (Ephesians 4:4-6).

How can all Christians be equal in God’s eyes, despite differences in nationalities, gender, and economic-social statuses?

All members of “His Body” have been ‘transferred to’ or ‘repositioned into’ the One “body of Christ” forever.

• They’ve all trusted in the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior.
• They all have relied upon Christ’s faithfulness as demonstrated in His free willing finished Crosswork, shedding His royal blood and dying for them.
• They all have God as their real [eternal] Father, having been born of His “Seed, which is Christ.” (Gal 3:16, 1Peter 1:23)
• They are all indwelt by the same One Holy Spirit of God, “To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:” (Colossians 1:27 (KJV)

“When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.” (Colossians 3:4 (KJV)

• And they’ve all been baptized [dry] by the Holy Spirit into the One “Body of Christ.”  
• And they are all destined to co-reign in heaven with Christ forever (cf. 2Tim. 2:12).

This then is the God-given position of all genuine believers, who are thereby “in Christ”! Indeed, Paul wrote; “Ye are all one in Christ Jesus.”

We the members of “the Church the Body of Christ” having the same relationship with God the Father that His Son Jesus Christ has! As members of the Church called “the Body of Christ,” we can call God what Jesus Christ called God, “Abba, Father” (Mark 14:36).

“[6] And because ye are his [God’s] sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. [7] Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God [the Father] through Christ” (Galatians 4:6,7).

The “Children of God” are destined to grow up in knowledge and in a trusting faith to become “the sons of God.” They will learn to allow the ‘innermost sense’ of “the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus” to lead them from within, either restraining or condoning their doings, by His Spirit within them

“For As Many As Are Led By The Spirit of God, they are the Sons of God.
¹⁵ For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. ¹⁶The Spirit Itself Beareth Witness With Our Spirit, That We Are The Children Of God; ¹⁷And if children, then heirs, heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.” (Romans 8:14-17)

The doctrinal truths that we have discussed are only found in Paul’s epistles (Romans through Philemon), for Paul is “the [one] Apostle to the Gentiles.” (Rom. 11:13) These truths inherently separate us from other believers in the Bible (such Israel of the past who was under the Law of Moses). These doctrinal truths also give us a unique standing, that is not available among the people of the world’s false religions and also not available among unlearned Christians who do not see Paul as their one unique Apostle. Paul wrote;

“If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I [Paul] write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.” (1 Corinthians 14:37 (KJV)

It is these doctrines that lead us into a ‘living relationship’ with the Godhead through Christ that makes us genuine Christians.

All Christians are equal in Christ even though many have been divisive and have separated themselves from the rest of the one “body of Christ” due to of their ignorance of the “rightly divided… word of truth.” All genuine believers, regardless of their divisiveness, have the same justification (all declared to be as ‘righteous as Christ Jesus’ before God), the same “one baptism” into “the Body of Christ,” the same righteousness (Christ’s righteousness), the same commission to preach the same Pauline “Gospel of the Grace of God” (2 Corinthians 5:14-21), and the same expectation of heaven.

Our Lord looks beyond denominations, ethnicities, social-economic statuses, education, gender, weaknesses, and strengths. He looks at the hearts of all people, but only seeing two groups: those who are “the children of the devil” (John 8:44), and those who are “the children of God…”
