Real Unity and Equality

Galatians 3:25-29

Pew Bible Pg. 947

 

 

I.  Genuine faith is the great unifier.                                                                                            vs. 25-26, 28

   

    A.  Being baptized into Christ, publicly unites us with Him.                                                             vs. 27

 

    B.  Saving faith unites us with one another.                                                                                         vs. 28

 

 

II.  Biblical equality is who we are in Christ.                                                                                             vs. 28

 

    A.  Sameness is not how God defines unity and equality.

 

    B.  We are a part of Wallace Street University (unity with diversity).

 

 

III.  In faith, we are also united with God’s chosen people.                                   vs. 28-29, Eph. 2:11-22

 

    A.  We are offspring of Abraham, the father of faith.                                                                   vs. 29

 

    B.  We inherit what was promised to Abraham.                                                                                  vs. 29

 

Is my definition of equality and unity biblical?

Do I have joy in my faith, knowing that I am a part of a local and large body of Christ?

Do I know of someone who needs to experience the kind of unity that can only be found in faith in Jesus Christ?
