"For as in one physical body we have many parts...and all of these parts do not have the same function or use, so we, numerous as we are, are one body in Christ (the Messiah) and individually we are parts one of another."
Romans 12:4-5 The Amplified Bible

We are a unity: ONE BODY IN CHRIST.
"The Illustrated Dictionary of the Bible" [Hebert Lockyer, Sr., Editor] defines "unity: oneness, harmony, agreement." It goes on to say, "Unity was apparent on the day of Pentecost when the believers 'were all with one accord in one place' (Acts 2:1).
It goes on to say, 'The church is a unity in diversity, a fellowship of faith, hope and love that binds believes together.'"

"And He (God) put all things under His (Christ's) feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all." Ephesians 1:22-23

"There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Chris Jesus." Galatians 3:28

After telling the Ephesians of the gifts that Christ gave, the Apostle Paul tells us why they are given in Ephesians 4:12-13, "For the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and the knowledge of he Son of God, to a perfect man, in the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ."

Paul exhorts Believer, then and now, as we see in the following verses:
"Now I plead with you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment." 1 Corinthians 1:10

"...Become complete. Be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you." 2 Corinthians 13:11

"I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to have a walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace."
Ephesians 4:1-3

The Apostle Peter tells us in 1 Peter 3:8, "Finally, all of you be of one mind, having compassion for one another, love as brothers, be tenderhearted, be courteous."

As for our relationship with one another:
Jesus tells us in John 13:35,
"By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another."

"Therefore, receive one another, just as Christ also received us to the glory of God,' Romans 15:7

"Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ."
Galatians 6:2

"Therefore let us not judge one another anymore, but rather resolve this, not to put a stumbling block or a cause to fall in our brother's way."
Romans 14:13

The Church, the Body of Christ, must stand firm in Christ and not be distracted by the things of the world. The tragedy is that many congregations are bringing in and establishing the practices of the world within their midst. Jesus is very clear on this!
"No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon." Matthew 6:24

Let us heed the words of Jude (read all of Jude, it is only one chapter).
"But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life." Vs. 20-21

Thank you, Lord for keeping us in your loving and tender care! To You be all glory and praise. Amen
