28 There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.
Verse 28 is a go-to verse when you want to fight racism, ethnocentrism and any number of things that divvy us into camps. However, it's verse 29 that I want to jam on, escpecially after Sunday's sermon.
Pastor Kessler was talking about being citizens of God's kingdom in a sermon on prayer. However, we have more than just citizenship with God, we have been adopted into His family. We are considered heirs in verse 29, children of God.
Thus, we inherrit more than just our share of the national debt in this passage.
