There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. — Galatians 3:28
Wouldn't it be great if we could tear down all the walls that divide us — racial, social, economic, and gender. The apostle Paul spent his entire life trying to do just that: to tear down the walls that divided people by bringing them to Jesus and the cross. There are no positions of superiority or inferiority at the foot of the cross, only a place for those who discover God's might displayed in sacrifice and God's love displayed even when under attack at the hands of human cruelty. While the forces of culture and human selfishness are always finding ways to divide us, we must remember that in Jesus, and only in Jesus, can we be one.
Facts about Holiness
. We are commanded
1 Peter 1:16
for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.”
. God will do it thoroughly

May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

John 13:14
Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet.
. By doing as for Him

Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters,
