Come One, Come All

Eph 2:14-2214 For he himself is our peace, who has made the two one andhas destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, 15 byabolishing in his flesh the law with its commandments andregulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new manout of the two, thus making peace, 16 and in this one body toreconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which heput to death their hostility. 17 He came and preached peace toyou who were far away and peace to those who were near. 18For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.

“No foreigner is to enter the

barriers surrounding the

sanctuary. He who is caught

will have himself to blame forhis death which will follow.”

19 Consequently, you are no longerforeigners and aliens, but fellowcitizens with God's people andmembers of God's household, 20built on the foundation of theapostles and prophets, with ChristJesus himself as the chiefcornerstone. 21 In him the wholebuilding is joined together and risesto become a holy temple in the Lord.22 And in him you too are being builttogether to become a dwelling inwhich God lives by his Spirit.

Gal 3:26-29

26 You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus,27 for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothedyourselves with Christ.

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

1. The just/righteous shall live by faith

2. We are the SAME and EQUAL before God.

• No Race - Neither Jew nor Greek • No Social Class - Neither Slave nor Free• No Gender Preference - Neither Male nor

Female • No……… age restriction,…

3. We are ALL DIFFERENT but still UNDER ONELORD - physical distinctions, gifting, skill-sets and different roles.

4. We share THE COMMON PURPOSE to live a life in FAITHFUL OBEDIENCE to our KING

We HONOUR and CELEBRATE our diversity.We are to LOVE and ACCEPT our neighbour.However, God does not teach us to acceptEVERY BEHAVIOUR as EQUAL and GOOD.The Bible speaks against ACTIONS/BEHAVIOURSthat DEVASTATES RELATIONSHIPS with ourselves,with others, with God and creation.
