Absolutely and so wonderfully expressed, thank you...our identity is no longer anchored in ancestry, but in the rich tapestry that is only found in Christ Jesus, as many as received him, to them he gave authourity to become children of God, even to them that believe unto his name, who were begotten not of bloods (ethnicity, cultural racial national identity, country of birth,origin, biological parentage or blood lines etc), nor of the will of the flesh, nor of man's will, but of God.

John 1:12-13, 11-18

Who are now blood bought in by and through Christ's own precious sacrificial spilt blood as the bridegroom of blood to all those who are now as God's people adopted into His kingdom and family & of the heavenly sons and innumerable host of angels, & to all those who are led by the spirit of God are the sons and daughters of God, a royal priesthood, a HOLY NATION, a people for God's own special possession, so that we may show forth the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness in to his marvellous light, we who were no people, but now are God's people who had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy as sojourners & pilgrims to abstain from fleshly lusts, which wat against the soul, having our behaviour good among all the nations, in our adoption as Heavenly Father's sons & daughters.

1 Peter 2:8-17, Rom 8:14

Excellent article - thanks for writing this.

God’s climax is to gather everything, on earth and in heaven, in Jesus Christ. Paraphrasing Ephesians 10:1.

Apologies for the late reading and response—I’ve been caught up with work and just now had the time to sit with this piece. I’m grateful I did. Thank you for writing with such clarity, conviction, and pastoral care. You addressed a sensitive and increasingly relevant issue with biblical depth and gospel-centered perspective.

I especially appreciated your distinction between cultural appreciation and gospel distortion. The reminder that our unity in Christ transcends ethnic heritage—not erasing diversity, but redeeming it—is both timely and timeless. The way you traced the trajectory from Babel to Pentecost to Revelation 5:9 was particularly powerful.

This article is a needed word for the church in our cultural moment. Thank you for your faithfulness to the Word and your heart for Christ’s kingdom.
