Christianity is not limited by race, nationality or circumstance. The Bible says: "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus." To Paul and other Jews, the term "Greek" meant everyone that was not of the Hebrew race, so he was saying there is no difference between Jews and other races; all can become Christians.

"And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him: Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all."

"For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." 2 Corinthians 5:17 "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new."

Thus, Christians are born-again of the Holy Spirit: they are children of God. "For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus."

Christians are therefore citizens of the Kingdom of God, and here on earth they are representatives of that kingdom:

"Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God."
