Purpose: God’s eternal purpose is to redeem (Buy Back) the planet earth, which was under control of Satan.


Program:   God created all the things on earth in His program to redeem the earth.


People:      God started with all people (Adam thru Noah).


When man went his own way God flooded the earth and restarted with just one family (Noah and his family).


Then when mankind again turned to his evil ways, God chose to work with one people starting with Abram (Abraham) (Israel).


When Israel rejected their Messiah, God opened the door to the Gentile.

The Covenant God made with Abraham concerning all his male descendants


A physical ritual given to Abraham to pass on to all his male descendants.
Acts 7:8 And He (GOD) gave him (ABRAHAM) the covenant of circumcision: and so Abraham begat Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat the twelve patriarchs.
Scripture to study:
In Scripture, Circumcision always referred to the Jew:
John 7:22-23
Acts 7:8 Acts 10:45 Acts 11:2
Romans 2:25-29 Romans 3:1 Romans 3:30 Romans 4:9-12 Romans 15:8
1 Corinthians 7:19

Ephesians 2:11
Philippians 3:3
Colossians 2:11 Colossians 3:11 Colossians 4:11

1 Corinthians 7:19
Galatians 2:7 Galatians 5:6 Galatians 6:15
Ephesians 2:11

Barbarian or Scythian

Colossians 3:11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.

Barbarian (in ancient times) a member of a community or tribe not belonging to one of the great civilizations (Greek, Roman, Christian).  An insulting word for a person from an uncivilized culture or a person with no manners. 

Scythian also called Scyth, Saka, and Sacae, member of a nomadic people, originally of Iranian stock, known from as early as the 9th century bce who migrated westward from Central Asia to southern Russia and Ukraine in the 8th and 7th centuries bce.

Both need to believe in Christ, His death, burial and resurrection.

Believer or Unbeliever

1 Timothy 4:12 Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.

1 Corinthians 6:6 But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers.

1 Corinthians 7:14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.

2 Corinthians 6:14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

The Believer professes that the Lord Jesus died on the cross, was buried in a tomb and rose again after 3 days and 3 nights (1 Corinthians 15:1-4) and confesses HE is God (Romans 10:9).

An unbeliever denies this event happened.

Bond or Free   

Galatians 3:28 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.

Free; not under the control or in the power of another; able to act or be done as one wishes.

Slave (or one bonded to another) a person who is the legal property of another and is forced to obey them.

Genesis 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

And He created them equal.

Bond, Free, Male, Female, Jew, Greek doesn’t matter. Without belief in God according to scripture you are bound for eternity without hope.

Christian or Non Christian

Acts 11:26 And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch.
Acts 26:28 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian.

The only two places in scripture that Christian is used. It was originally meant as a derogatory term.

A Non Christian is a person who is not a Christian
