WE ARE CALLED TO UNITY
Ephesians 4:3: Endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bonds of peace.
1 Corinthians 4:6b: …that no one of us be puffed up for one against another.
1 Corinthians 4:7: For who maketh these to differ from another?
Unity is: “one with each other”, whatever our differences are, we are to over look each other’s differences to have unity. To have unity is to have peace.
To have unity is for each one of us to be humble towards one another and with God; to be with complete lowliness of mind, having humility, and meekness, being unselfish, with quietness and mildness, thinking about and honoring the other person, and seeing them as being better than we are ourselves. Having patience, and long suffering with one another and making allowances for each other, because we love one another with a fervent, energetic, Godly love. Let each of us go out of our way to love other people unconditionally, this is how Jesus loves us.
When we have patience and accept that others have a lot to offer, then we learn from one another, and it increases our knowledge. We need everyone in the Body of Christ to share with one another and learn from one another.
We can learn so much from one another when we share with each other, and, we can learn much more when we look past the differences we all have. Where there are major differences and we begin to work on the things we have in common, we can begin to reach unity. Remembering each one of us are a part of the Body of Christ, no one is a loner for Christ, even though we need to be alone with Him, so we can be together with each other and work together in unity.
To have unity we must communicate with each other, whatever denomination we each belong to, or whatever teaching we grew up with, finding an understanding with each other. We must do better than we are doing to bring unity into the Christian community.
There are many benefits when we walk in unity: unity brings peace with each other,
The Word of God has much to say about those who walk in unity and peace. First of
all it’s pleasant, it brings blessings, but we must pursue it, that is go after unity and
peace, it doesn’t come to us.
“AND A NEW COMMANDMENT I GIVE UNTO YOU,
THAT YE LOVE ONE ANOTHER, AS I HAVE LOVED YOU,
THAT YE ALSO LOVE ONE ANOTHER.
BY THIS SHALL ALL MEN KNOW THAT YE ARE MY DISCIPLES,
IF YE LOVE ONE ANOTHER.”
