Christians are members of one new nation, no matter their geographic location on the planet. The Lord of this new nation is Lord above all lords and thus has our ultimate allegiance. Our confession is, “Jesus is Lord!” This new nation is in Messiah. Those in Him may not divide themselves by class, ethnicity or gender (Gal 3:27-28). Any wedge that seeks to divide God’s Nation/Kingdom must be soundly rejected as a spike driven into the body of Christ. We can never, anywhere or anytime, promote the divisions King Messiah has broken down.
“But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light” 1 Peter 2:9 (NIV)
