UNITY IN SPIRIT

Ephesians 4:11-13 Christ gave the Spiritual leaders the Word; to equip His people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up 13 until we all reach unity in the faith and the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature believers, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.  14 Then we will no longer be infants, misled by sin, and blown here and there by every temptation and false teaching of cunning deceitful people.  15 instead, speaking the truth of the Word in love, to help us grow into the mature body of Christ. 16 through Him the whole body joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grow and build itself up in the Word and love, as each one does its work.


When we accept the Lord as our Savior; we become one in Spirit the wholeness of the body of Christ. Christianity is not a club we join; it's a lifestyle we live, that brings people of all races together. God is love and when we walk in the Spirit we walk in love; if we hate our brothers and sisters in Christ, we walk in the flesh, and God do not know us.   But the good news is God’s grace; if we repent and turn away from our hate we are restored to Him through Christ. The Word says “until we all reach unity in the faith and the knowledge of the Son, we are not attending the full measure of Christ.  God’s instructions along with prayer, belief, trust, fellowship, worship and praise will guide, unite, and protect us through our Spiritual process.  After which the continuance studying of the Word will help us love each other, mature in faith, maintain, and develop the Fruit of our Spirit; and the Holy Spirit will help us execute obedience to the Word, and live for Christ and others.

Lord, we are Your children; help us live a life worthy of our calling we have received.  Father, keep us humble, patient and bearing with each other in love.  Lord, keep Your people united in Spirit through the bond of peace.  Father, help us understand that we are one race and one Spirit; just as You are one God.  Lord, help us understand our gift; as we gain wisdom and knowledge through the Word of truth.  Lord, help us not live as sinners do, in the futility of their thinking.  Lord, we do not want to be darkened in our understanding; and separated from You, because of our sins.  Father, do not allow the ignorance that is due to the hardening of our hearts keep us from sitting at Your feet. In Jesus name Amen
