ONE LOVE, ONE RACE, ONE FAITH

Malachi 2:10 "Do we, not all have one father? Has not one God created us? Why do we deal treacherously each against his brother to profane the covenant of our fathers?

Most of us cannot come together because of skin color, beliefs, or religion, but one thing gives us unity: Christ.  We love people who are not like us, people who do not believe what we believe; we even have a passion for our enemies (with understanding).  God wants us to have one heart and one faith, and that faith will have great rewards.  Christians who never stop believing and acting on the Word of God will sit at Christ's feet; because our faithfulness has not gone unnoticed.

Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. So Luke 16:10 those who are faithful in a very little is also faithful in much, and one who is dishonest in a very little is also dishonest in much.

Father, thank You for Your grace, the grace that allowed Christ to come into splendor so that we may be saved.  Lord, let us not claim You and not obey Your instructions and principles.  Father, nothing is as exciting as Your love, a love that changes our entire being and gives us joy and peace.  The peace is more than the absence of war; it is a wave of peace that comes with the presence of Christ.  Father, let us come together in unity, love, and one faith; because we are one race, a race that has proclaimed the excellence of You, who has called us out of darkness into Your light.  Lord, help us obey Your voice and keep Your covenant because we are Your children and Your servants.  Father, give us Your strength to be faithful even to the point of death so we will receive the crown of life, in Jesus name we pray, Amen
