Galatians 3:26-29
26 For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 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. 29 And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Faith in Christ that leads to salvation also adopts us as His children. When we are spiritually immersed in Him, we put on Christ and are sealed by His Spirit who then lives in us. We are in that sense baptized into Him. This adoption as the called out people of God includes not just the Jews, but those of all nations as promised to Abraham, without limitations on race, gender, language, or ethnicity. His adopted children are one family, heirs to the riches in Christ in eternity by that promise of faith found in Christ alone. What a wonder to be called into God’s family!
