I think Believers must understand. ..
The scriptures reveal we who are born again are no longer the
Old Man which was connected to the natural a Birth which by natural birth
attached us to a certain ethnic / cultural background
By fact of its description “Born Again” we see it reveals we
belong now to a different Race we belong to a Nation in Heaven “Heavenly
Citizens”. And should not hold on to any ethnicity linked to this earth.
Jesus said himself “unless a seed falls to the ground and
dies it cannot live."
I think the scripture below indicates this as being a truth
from God
“put on the new man who
is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him, where
there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, barbarian,
Scythian, slave nor free, but Christ is all and in all”
Colossians 3:1-17 NKJV
If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above,
where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things
above, not on things on the earth. For you died, and your life is hidden with
Christ in God. When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear
with Him in glory. Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth:
fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is
idolatry. Because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of
disobedience, in which you yourselves once walked when you lived in them. But
now you yourselves are to put off all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy,
filthy language out of your mouth. Do not lie to one another, since you have put
off the old man with his deeds, and have put on the new man who is renewed in
knowledge according to the image of Him who created him, where there is neither
Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor
free, but Christ is all and in all. Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and
beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering;
bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint
against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do. But above all
these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection. And let the peace of
God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be
thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching
and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing
with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatever you do in word or deed, do
all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.
We as Believers need to understand our old man “The Dead Man”
the man which is crucified with Christ is the Greek the Jew, The barbarian, the
Scythian etc.
The Born Again Man is a Citizen of Heaven, The Born Again Man
is a child of God, and The Born Again Mans Father is God. The Born Again Man has
a heritage that runs right back to their father of faith
"Abraham"....
Just a thought.
