Paul had good news for the church in Galatia: "There is no longer Jew or Greek ... slave or free ... male and female; for all of you are one in Christ Jesus" (Gal. 3:28).

Distinctions of race, culture, socioeconomic status, and gender faded in the bright reality of their faith in Jesus as Savior and Lord.

This is good news for everyone in any era.
