When Will We Become United?

And all who have been united with Christ in baptism have put on Christ, like putting on new clothes. There is no longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male and female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus.
Galatians 3:27-28 
 
Why do we spend so much time and effort focusing on our differences instead of our commonalities?  
 
Didn't God create all of us in His image?
 
Yet we want to be divisive instead of uniting.  Why?
 
Yes, we do have differences, but we all share things in common.  For example, when the heart stops, we die.  Ever hear of anyone living a regular life with no heartbeat?
 
You see, the truth of Christ is simple: We are all the same in His eyes.  He died for me just like He died for you.  He never said, "I'll hang on this cross only for those who are over 6' tall with green hair" now did He?  
 
I don't care who you are, in Christ we are family (don't look so scared).
