Hi Lamarchester, Welcome to the Forum. What Paul is bringing out in Galatians 3.28 is that in Christ God treats all Christians on an equal basis. All are 'sons of God'. He does not see freemen as superior to slaves, He does not see men as superior to women, He does not see Jews as superior to Gentiles. And this is because having been united with Christ they are one with Him, they are members of His body. Therefore before God they share equal status with Jesus Christ. The Pharisee would pray, 'I thank God you have not made me a woman'. He believed that women were inferior in the sight of God, and had lesser rights of approach. So Paul is emphasising that once a woman is 'in Christ' she is of equal status to a man in God's eyes, and can expect her prayers to be answered on the same basis. She can approach God in the same way, and with the same confidence that she will be fully accepted. Best wishes |
