Overview & Insights
"There is no longer Jew or Greek, there is no longer slave or free, there is no longer male and female; for all of you are one in Christ Jesus." (Galatians 3:28)
Paul explains that the law functioned as a guardian until Christ came, and that faith in Christ now makes all believers, regardless of ethnicity, status, or sex, equally children of God and heirs of Abraham's promise. Baptism is described as being clothed with Christ.
