1. The New Race Christianity

2. There is no longer Jew or Gentile, only Christians Ephesians 2: 14-15 14 For he is our peace, who has made us both one, and has broken down the dividing wall of hostility, 15 by abolishing in his flesh the law of commandments and ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man in place of the two, so making peace

3. This “new race…” Has Christ as the “first man” 1 Corinthians 15:45 45 Thus it is written, “The first man Adam became a living being”; the last Adam became a life-giving spirit.

4. This “new race…” Is spiritual in nature John 3:6-8 6That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Do not marvel that I said to you, ‘You must be born anew.’ 8The wind blows where it wills, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know whence it comes or whither it goes; so it is with every one who is born of the Spirit.”

5. This “new race…” Has its own language Ephesians 5:19 19 addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with all your heart

6. This new race will endure forever! Daniel 2: 44 44And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed, nor shall its sovereignty be left to another people. It shall break in pieces all these kingdoms and bring them to an end, and it shall stand for ever;

7. Are you part of this "race?" Are you a follower or believer? Are you hot or cold? Are you willing to make a difference?
