       Christ doesn’t differentiate based on worldly conditions and circumstances, upon the makeup of one’s flesh, the flesh that he or she resides in as a spirit. Within the church, all have the same status as a new creation in Christ. We are used to this language nowadays, and this is how we practice. But back then, in the time of the Colossians, it would have been unheard of. While in the Old Testament times God dealt with the Jewish people, the Nation of Israel, those who were of the Jewish race, during Paul’s time, and now during our time, God offers the free gift of salvation to all. Everyone is included. Christ died for everyone, and everyone who believes in his death on the cross and rising from the dead can have salvation. No one, or group of people, is seen as special as far as salvation goes, as far as the ability to enter the kingdom of Heaven. Within spiritual status, then, there is no separation. God deals with all the same.
