Part of Zac Poonen · 277 of 379
Summary
The central message is that the New Covenant, established through Christ's death, has broken down all distinctions—including those of race, intellect, and social standing—creating one unified body in Christ. Paul emphasizes that this unity is a mystery known only through divine revelation, not mere intellectual understanding. The speaker urges believers to live out this reality by embracing the 'new self' renewed in Christ, rejecting all forms of internal and external enmity.

Zac Poonen - UNDERSTANDING THE NEW COVENANT Part 12:Diversity, Gifts and Unity in the Body Of Christ
Zac Poonen · Nov 20, 2023
In the New Covenant, Christ builds a unified body of believers that transcends social, cultural, racial, and economic distinctions—unlike the Old Covenant congregation which was homogeneous. True church unity is demonstrated through genuine love and connection among diverse members, not merely by gathering together; those who only fellowship with people of their own type hinder the building of Christ's body.
