What is the relationship of Jewish believers to Gentile believers?
In Temple days a middle wall of partition existed in the Temple that physically separated Jews and Gentiles. Gentiles could not enter past that point and were delegated to what was sometimes called the Court of the Gentiles. According to the New Covenant Scriptures, this middle wall of partition, spiritually speaking, has been broken down (Ephesians 2:14). We are all one in Him. In fact, according to Rabbi Shaul, Gentile believers have entered a Jewish faith (Romans 11:24), and have become spiritually circumcised and spiritually Jewish as they have accepted the Jewish Messiah. Gentile believers are one with us because the spirit of G-d dwelling within a Jewish believer is the same Spirit within a Gentile believer. Our ethnicity, heritage and background may be different, but G-d has made us one in the Spirit (Ephesians 2:18; 4:1-6).
