We’re ONE IN THE SPIRIT

Why Aren’t The Churches,

ONE IN Unity With Him?

Dear Brothers & Sisters in Christ,

 WE ARE ONE IN THE SPIRIT #3

Topic:  It’s time to come together,

     Paul wasn’t done with writing to the Ephesians from Rome, Ephesians 4:13-14 covers a whole lot more for us to see, from our personal Apostle.

13  till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ;

14  that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting,

15  but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head----Christ----

16  from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.

     I think Verse 13 is what our Lord, Jesus, is waiting for.  ALL of us coming together in the unity of our faith, the acknowledging Him, as our Lord and Savior.  Then growing to becoming a perfect man in the fullness of Christ.  I know we grieve the Holy Spirit, and I believe with all of our various religions and words, we bruise the body of Christ, because we’re so busy fighting with our brothers and sisters.  At least, we probably give Him a headache, with Him shaking His head thinking – will they ever learn? OR the Holy Spirit sure has a lot of work to do yet.  In either case, we Christians need to get our act together!

     Remember the tower of Babel?  Genesis 11:9, where the Lord confused the language of all the earth; and from there the LORD scattered them abroad over the face of all the earth?  Do you also remember why He did it?  Genesis 11:5-9 (6) “And the LORD said, "Indeed the people are one and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do; now nothing that they propose to do will be withheld from them.” Amazing, isn’t it, that when we are one in Christ, having the same language, NOTHING that we propose to do, will be withheld from us.  Think about what each nation could accomplish together.

     But as verse 16 says, it will take the WHOLE BODY, knit together, to be effective, causing growth of the body and edifying itself in love.  Think about it.
