Ephesians 2

Christ has made us alive! When we follow the world's ways, we die. We follow worldly ways like an addiction. God reached out through Christ and did what we could not do – save ourselves. The more we control life on our own, the more we will fail. Investing in a relationship with the Risen Jesus is the only thing we need to do to loosen the death-grip of having no real plan in life but "going with the flow."

 

Christ made all people, no matter what their pedigree (Jewishness was one of the desired characteristics before Christ.) There are no barriers between one another. We are all one in Christ. Christ is the leveler of status, race, gender – you name it – and he is the glue that hold us together.
