One Body – Free In Christ

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.

 Unity Beyond Politics

In an age of political polarization, Galatians 3:28 offers a radical and healing truth: in Christ, all divisions dissolve. This verse does not erase identity—it transcends it. It affirms that every believer, regardless of background, status, or affiliation, is part of one spiritual body.

Political ideologies—left, right, centrist, libertarian—shape policies and public discourse. But they must never define the Church. The body of Christ is not a political party. It is a spiritual family governed by the eternal King.

Christianity is not blind to injustice, nor passive in the face of suffering. But its highest allegiance is to the Kingdom of God—a kingdom not built on nationalism, capitalism, socialism, or any human system. It is built on righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.

God is the true governing body. His sovereignty is not up for election. His justice is not swayed by lobbyists. His mercy is not limited by borders. In Christ, we are not red or blue—we are redeemed.

To be one in Christ means to listen across divides, love beyond disagreement, and serve without prejudice. It means remembering that every person—regardless of race, class, gender, or political leaning—is a child of God, invited to the same table of grace.

Reflective Question

Do I allow political identity to overshadow my unity in Christ?

Supportive Verse

Colossians 3:15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.

Prayer for Unity

“LORD-in a world of division, make me an agent of Your peace. Let Your Kingdom rule in my heart above all earthly allegiances. Help me see others not as opponents, but as fellow image-bearers. Unite us in Christ, that we may reflect Your love and truth. In Jesus name, Amen.”
