The word for today is - Unity

 

The word for today is - Unity !

 

There should be no doubt in anyone's mind that God wants His people to live in peace and harmony. In other words, we may not see "eye to eye" on everything, but we still are "one in Christ Jesus" and should be willing to accept one another in love.  Let's look at Psalm 133:1,Behold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! Read Romans 6:5, For,if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection.  Read 1 Corinthians 1:10, Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. In Ephesians 4:1-3,I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called, With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love; Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. The word is telling us, As a prisoner of the Lord I ( the word from God) urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. To bear with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit. Let's read Ephesians 4:11-13, And he gave some, apostles;and some prophets; and some evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers. For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ. Did you get that? To prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up. Then read Colossians 3:14,And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness. The word is telling us that over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. Thank you God for your word. Amen !
