The ‘Ism’ Struggles

Galatians 3:26-29 (New Living Translation)

26 For you are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus. 27 And all who have been united with Christ in baptism have put on Christ, like putting on new clothes. 28 There is no longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male and female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And now that you belong to Christ, you are the true children of Abraham. You are his heirs, and God’s promise to Abraham belongs to you.

When I see, hear, encounter the ‘ism’ struggle, I am reminded that this struggle is not new. The Apostle Paul spoke out on this 2000 years ago and we are still struggling with these strongholds.

• Nationalism, the great immigration struggle
• Racism, who can lead, politically, athletically, corporately, even religiously
• Sexism, the glass ceiling

I praise God that Paul didn’t hesitate to tell us that in Christ, we are all one. There is no difference.
