When man is separated from the one Father, the one Lord, he grows from a fallen root, and becomes self-centered. This root also creates a wall between men.  Actually, when two persons come from different backgrounds and have different beliefs, the spirit of estrangement will naturally work between them. In a society, we often see the income gap, differences in religious beliefs, academic qualifications and ideologies causing mutual resentment and inability to get along. Although the democratic system and the sociologists often advocate that men should be tolerant with one another and learn how to get along and maintain harmony, ask yourself, can man’s morals and ideologies really bring unity? Is this suppressive tolerance or true love? In church, we often see that people from different backgrounds, cultures, educational levels, conditons, ages are not able to get along so easily. Between the churches, we also see meaningless rivalry between different denominations. In the Ephesian church, we also see conflicts between Jews and the Gentiles. This is due to the backgrounds, cultural and lifestyle differences between the two groups of believers. But the main reason is that Jewish believers were not able to understand the spirit of the law and still held onto the ordinances of the law. This law and the written code cause the Jews to become a very different race. Especially, when they do not understand the love of Jesus and the heart of God to save all nations, their beliefs of the law made them view the Gentiles with enmity and discrimination. Actually, the Jews and the Israelites of the Old Testament retained the concept of ‘God’s people’. When God in the Old Testament forbade Israelites to interact and intermarry with Gentiles, even to the extent of setting laws so that His people were set apart, God did not mean to ostracise them because of differences in customs, cultures and habits, but God is opposing people (lives) who do not believe or love God. God, in the Old Testament, saw the Gentiles as unclean because they were not holy in their hearts (did not believe in God’s righteousness and love, had uncircumcised hearts), not because of their actions or appearance (example: unclean living habits, ugly appearance, consuming certain unclean food). In some special examples, we also see God raising up Gentiles who understood the spirit of the law, loved God and men, like Rahab and family, Ruth, Job, General Naaman, Cornelius, etc. These were Gentiles who were saved and were one family with Israel. Therefore, the precious blood of Jesus reveals the heart of God, that He has come to save His people, so that whether one is Jew or Gentile biologically, he can receive the same spirit to come before the Father.
