Designer Label

“So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.”

Galatians 3:26-28

 

You might call Jesus Christ the ‘great equalizer’.

When we are ‘in Him’ the other labels we use to identify ourselves have less meaning.

There is no other identification greater than the one we make through Christ.

Rich man, poor man?

They will find that the same savior hung on the tree for them.

Their wealth, or their poverty, has no bearing on how they received atonement.

You cannot ‘buy’ your own salvation, neither will you earn ‘credit’ for being poor in material comforts.

Are you part of God’s chosen people Israel?

The Messiah came through the Jews but it does not make every Jew a child of God.  

Each and every person who is a child of God is a child of God through Jesus Christ.

No other way!

Period.

Have you been born with a silver spoon in your mouth?

That luxury is not a free ticket into heaven.

Slave or free, man or woman there simply is one gate – Christ Jesus.

Clothe yourself with Christ and people will begin to recognize the ‘designer label’ you wear.

It will be a design that is not in fashion in the world but nonetheless as you wrap Christ around your life, your activities, your words and behaviors there will be no mistaking that you are His.

So if you insist on a label, label yourself Christ’s!

In Him we are to live and move and have our being.
