TOPIC: THE UNITY OF THE BODY OF CHRIST
TEXT: Ephesians 4:4-6(NKJV)
- 4:4. [There is] one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling;
- 4:5. one Lord, one faith, one baptism;
- 4:6. one God and Father of all, who [is] above all, and through all, and in you all.
STUDY:
Our text this morning reveals the source of the unity that exists as it were, in the body of Christ. It is a unity founded on God’s oneness. We worship one God in trinity and the trinity in unity. That is, they are distinct in person but one in divinity; every quality the Father has, the Son has too, and the Holy Spirit also has.
We are members of one body, distinct from one another, yet sharing in the one hope, faith and baptism. If we are from God, we cannot but reflect the same oneness amongst ourselves. We acknowledge our distinctiveness, yet we must seek out for those common grounds we share together, for in so doing, we will appreciate our distinctiveness by seeing them as reflecting a dimension in God.
What we share in common is above whatever reason we have for our disagreements. “One God and Father of all: who is above all, and through all, and in you all”. We have One God who is above all our reasoning, argument, differences, and even our denominations. Are you working for the unity of the body of Christ, or are you fighting to defend your denomination?
PRAYER:
Father, help me to see more, what binds us together. May the oneness that exists in the Godhead find expression in your church.
