Open the gates

I read from Ezekiel 44 this morning and noticed that in the vision Ezekiel is told that no Gentile will enter into the Jerusalem. It brought to mind a passage we rea from Galatians a couple of days ago.

It reads:
Galatians 3:23 Now before faith came, we were held captive under the law, imprisoned until the coming faith would be revealed.
24 So then, the law was our guardian until Christ came, in order that we might be justified by faith.
25 But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian,
26 for in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith.
27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
29 And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's offspring, heirs according to promise. - Galatians 3:23-29

It is mind boggling to think that we are now included in all of these promises. God's chosen people is now folks from every tribe and tongue. Incredible!Lue lisää
