You aren't alone!
"So now you Gentiles are no longer strangers and foreigners. You are citizens along with all of God's holy people. You are members of God's family."
Ephesians 2:19
When Paul wrote this, Gentiles were definitely "outsiders" to Jews, who considered themselves the (only) holy people of God. The good news of the new Kingdom in which Jesus reigns is that there are no outsiders anymore. United in mutual faith in Jesus, all who believe share a new identity: members of God's family. No believer is ever alone again. Not only are we united with Christ and a new child of God the Father, but we now belong to a huge family of brothers and sisters who believe likewise. What a comfort!
