Confirmation of the union of all men in Christ. God has destroyed the wall of partition between men through the Crucifixion and Resurrection of Christ.
Rom. 2
"28": For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
"29": But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
Galatians 3
"28": There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
"29">And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
Colossians 3
"10": And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:
11": Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all."
Philippians 3
"3": For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.
It is both unchristian and unbilical to attempt to give "Chosen status" to the unbelievers. 'Christ is all in all', and those who desire the Father MUST come through the Son!
