How would you define true christian unity?Is it about always agreeing?Is it about working together despite our disagreements?Is our job just to love everyone and let God sort it all out?thes questions make it clear that the unity God calls us to is centered in Christ,based on what His word reveals.Our unity in Christ is inclusive of all believers who trust in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.Then we as believers need the discernment of God's spirit and the knowledge of His word to remain in the true fellowship of biblical unity.
It was at great personal cost, the shedding of His own blood that Christ has brought all together into one body.But there are times when pride or prejudices get in the way,creating disunity,breaking the bonds of love and fellowship.Then our ignorance or self-focus will causes us to neglect our fellow believers, allowing unity to errode.There are times when we will allow tradition to get in the way of truth,and for comfort to out way common sense,but the path of true christian unity requires that we love God with all our heart, soul ,mind, and strength without comprimise.Christian unity grows best when Christ is at the center of all that we do.
Whatever the threats to the unity Christ calls us to,we have been equipped by God's spirit to stand guard against them and to stay united worshipping one Lord,having one faith,covered by one baptism, and lead by one spirit.
