Today’s Thought “Innocently Tagged” G. Ward Galatians 3 26 For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. Self-characterization or the same from others (particularly as it concerns lumping together those of physical similarity) is useless without Heaven’s approval. The objective for any that believe is to undergird spiritual transformation, so as promote Holy God’s character. The social construct of race is also without benefit and has become an identifier of humankind perpetuating divisiveness. Recently, political grandstanding perpetuated a separatist ideology that said in general terms Black folk need to either get on board with a political posturing offered from a partisan group and furthered that they want more for the Black community than Blacks want for themselves. No ethnic group is with a monolithic (uniformity without variance) approach even though that same group may identify themselves within the parameter of a partisanship. There are many ways to incur economic success and national security of sorts. Moreover, every ethnic group is varied in rich and poor, productive and unproductive, etc., so addressing any in general terms is arrogant/ignorant. God never highlighted groups for their ethnicity but did for their availability to His commands and usefulness thereunto. The way of the cross provided anyone’s confession of Jesus as Lord without barrier. The only opinion that matters is the Creator of Heaven and earth. His preparation for us with a perfect home adds more victory and our arrival there promises a continuity in the Spirit realm, needful for practice right now.
