Bird on Justification and Race

Check out this excellent post by Mike Bird over at Euangelion.  I love his statement, "Yet justification in its rich, fully orbed, and biblical scheme is what the church needs to cling to in order to preserve sola gratia of the gospel whereby sinners (and not the righteous) are justified by faith in Christ and preserve the truth that Christ unites in himself a Greek and a Jew, an American and an Arab, an African and an Asian, and thus unites them together in full eucharistic fellowship! This is justification."

This reminds me of a similar discussion that I commented on earlier in regards to Redmond's post over on JT's blog.
