The Challenge of Christian Unity
Christian, the word alone sparks controversy and is sometimes considered wrong. When I first became a Christian, I just wanted to talk to other Christians and talk with them about THE LORD JESUS CHRIST; I never really thought it would be so hard. After all, we were on the same side. Still, there is so much division between Christians, and right now, Christian unity should be stronger than ever.
Government Actions Against Christianity
It is abundantly clear that Christianity is Under attack by governments all around the world. They say that it’s not, but their actions speak otherwise. If you look at the situation unfolding in Canada regarding Bill C-367, if passed, you could be arrested for quoting the bible.
The Impact of Bill C-367
In short, the bill would remove religious exemptions under the ‘hate speech’ section of the Criminal Code would be removed which could allow Christians to be placed under arrest for speaking the truth.
The Importance of Mutual Support Among Christians
As Christians, we need to be there for each other and support one another no matter what. We need to help and support our brothers and sisters at our church, in our neighborhood, and on social media. It’s not a popularity contest. It’s about coming together as the body of Christ.
The Body of Christ: A Unified Analogy
“The body has various functions. Our hands and arms are not meant for walking, and our legs are not meant to replace our hands. I don’t prefer one over the other. Each part has its purpose.
If I decided to walk down to the store, my hands wouldn’t reach down to trip my feet. My mouth would not curse me or condemn me. My body functions in a unity. There is an oneness about it that is visible to all. If a heavy object fell on my left hand, my right hand would be the first thing trying to get the object off of my left hand.
It’s pretty simple to see a body functioning as one when you look at it. It is as simple as seeing the body of Christ functioning as one. There is an oneness about it! Just because the legs do the walking, the hands are not trying to trip them; the mouth is not cursing them. The mind isn’t trying to convince them they would be better off cutting the legs off, and they do not see them as useless..
The Holy Spirit’s Role in Church Harmony
The body of Christ works the same way. Christians are the body of Christ, and THE HOLY SPIRIT is a director, which is why the church should directly reflect the Holy Spirit.
Embracing the Fruit of the Spirit
The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such there is no law. 24. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another. – Galatians 5:22-26 – NKJV
The Power of Unity in Action
Teamwork (Unity) Gets things done!
For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office: So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and everyone is one of another. – Romans 12:4-5 – KJV
