(In The Word – Post 1)
“For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace.” — Ephesians 2:14–15 (KJV)
In Christ, God no longer recognizes men according to the flesh. His view is not carnal and earthly, but spiritual and heavenly.
The cross ended the separation between Jew and Gentile, forming one new creation in Himself.
Those who still define the people of God by natural descent have not understood the finished work of Calvary. The old covenant divided by race and ritual; the new covenant unites by grace and regeneration. The dividing wall fell when Christ cried, “It is finished.”
“For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 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.” — Galatians 3:26–28 (KJV)
The Church is not a continuation of Israel’s fleshly line but a new creation — born of the Spirit, not of Abraham’s bloodline.
“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” — 2 Corinthians 5:17 (KJV)
“For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter.” — Romans 2:28–29 (KJV)
Heaven recognizes only one people — those who are in the Son. All who are born again, whether once Jew or Gentile, have been made one body, one temple, one habitation of God through the Spirit. The Father sees only Christ — and those who are in Him.
Overcomer’s Insight
True spiritual identity begins when the old man ends. The cross doesn’t elevate one group over another; it ends all boasting in the flesh. Christ alone is our peace, our righteousness, and our name before God.
I really appreciate your articles on Israel and how it pertains to Christ. It is really helping me to simply understand. Great articles !! GJ 🔥📖🔥
Thank you, GJ. That means a great deal to me. My hope with these articles is simply to let Christ and the apostles show us how all of this fits together. Once we see that the promises, covenants, shadows, and types find their fulfillment in Christ, much of the confusion begins to clear away.
“For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen…” (2 Corinthians 1:20)
Thank you for reading, and may the Lord continue to open His Word to you.
This is a great and timely article. So many people need to understand this. Thanks
