In the words of President Ronald Reagan…

Tear down this wall!  [June 12, 1987]

Jesus has removed the walls of separatism and favoritism.

“For there is no distinction between Jew and Gentile; for the same Lord is Lord over all [of us], and [He is] abounding in riches (blessings) for all who call on Him [in faith and prayer].

For ‘whoever calls on the name of the Lord [in prayer] will be saved.’

But how will people call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how will they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without a preacher (messenger)?  And how will they preach unless they are commissioned and sent [for that purpose]? Just as it is written and forever remains written, ‘How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news of good things!’

But they did not all pay attention to the good news [of salvation]; for Isaiah says, ‘Lord, who has believed our report?’ So faith comes from hearing [what is told], and what is heard comes by the [preaching of the] message concerning Christ.

But I say, did they not hear? Indeed they have;

‘Their voice [that of creation bearing God’s message] has gone out to all the earth,

And their words to the [farthest] ends of the world (Romans 10:12-18 AMP).”

Repetition is a great teacher.

“There is [now no distinction in regard to salvation] neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you [who believe] are all one in Christ Jesus [no one can claim a spiritual superiority] (Galatians 3:28 AMP).”
