The new life that we have in Christ is a renewed one, in a new image – the Image of Christ. Christ should be in us! That’s what Paul often says, “Christ in you, the hope of Glory!” The Life, the very essence of Christ – in us! When a child is born, that new life comes from father and mother – in their image! come on! By faith, you are born of God. It’s the Life of Christ in you that now makes you who you now are! Paul says in Galatians 4:19, “I travail until Christ be formed in you.” You are in Christ!
But v11 reveals complications: in this new Image, there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision or uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free. Paul is saying there’s no difference between any of us in Christ. There is no difference between cultures, between Jew and Gentile, no difference between those who obey the Jewish law, and those who don’t, no difference between a slave and a free person. Christ is in all. There is absolutely no difference. No difference between black and white, no difference whatever country you are from, whatever colour or creed you are – we are one in Christ!
