Galatians 3:28
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

Application: 

Everyone who puts faith in Christ is baptized into his body and clothed with his righteousness. Spiritual growth is the ongoing process of the Holy Spirit making our condition equal to our position.

As a result, there is no Jew or Greek, slave or free, male and female; since you are all one in Christ Jesus. Paul is not saying that these distinctions cease to exist. He is saying that in spite of our human differences we are all unified because we are one in Christ (3:28). No one is superior to anyone else before God. We all share equally in our relationship with him through Jesus. Thus, the Galatians didn’t have to keep the law and undergo circumcision as the Judaizers insisted. They didn’t have to become Jews. The Galatians already belonged to Christ (3:29), since they were “clothed with” him (3:27) and were “one in” him (3:28). Since Christ is the true seed of Abraham (3:16, 19), then those united with him by faith are heirs with Christ and, by extension, Abraham’s seed spiritually (3:29; since God still has a plan for the physical seed of Abraham, Rom 11:1).

If you trust in Jesus Christ as the perfect substitutionary sacrifice for your sins, then the same is true of you. You have been justified and have a righteous standing before God because he has clothed you with the righteousness of his Son. Through faith in Christ, you are adopted into God’s family and receive the Holy Spirit, sharing in this relationship with all believers. You cannot earn salvation and grow properly in your walk with the Lord by keeping the law. It is the free gift of God.
