The apostle Paul stated that all
unbelievers are controlled by the Devil and citizens in the kingdom
of Satan but God is rich in mercy and will save people from this
fate through Jesus Christ. His death on the cross for the sins of
mankind is the core of the Gospel and this single event made it
possible for us to repent and be reconciled with God. Not only are
you saved, but you will also be seated with Christ in heavenly
places. Paul shared how we are saved by grace, not by works, and how
we will do good works because we are saved, not to be saved. God has
rescued us from sin and death and made us partakers of His promise
in Christ by the Gospel. Paul also told how the Gentile Christians
that at one time they had no inheritance with Israel, but through
Christ they had been brought in under the new covenant and are
considered part of the spiritual Israel. So it doesn't matter if you
are Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male or female, we are all one in
Christ! |
