Tonight's Thursday Night Prison Fellowship devotional is one that each of us should read, and then read again. 👀Love for others and Unity are recurring themes for God's people. 🌎
UNITED IN CHRIST
"For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." (Galatians 3:27-28)
When I was first called to be a disciple of Jesus Christ, I realized that God commands us to love all races, not just our own people. I never knew until I began to read the Bible that God had provided a plan of salvation for all races of people through His Son, Jesus Christ.
Now, since I am reading and studying the Word more, I find myself loving my brothers and sisters more. There is no distinction between us–no black or white, rich or poor, free or prisoner–we are all sinners, coming to be cleansed by a Holy God, our Father. We are one family of His children, united by His love.

PRAYER: Thank you, O Lord, for the understanding of your Word. Thank you for making us all one through your Son, Jesus Christ. Amen.
Amen ❤️
