Radical Spiritual Equality
Commentators emphasize that in Christ, all earthly distinctions that create division—race ("Jew nor Greek"), social status ("bond nor free"), and gender ("male nor female")—are nullified in terms of spiritual standing. One scholar notes this directly counters a common Jewish prayer of the time, which thanked God for not being a Gentile, a slave, or a woman. In Christ, all are equally sinners saved by the same grace.
