Do You Understand The Unity Of Believers?

[Divinah Nyakundi]

Believers are those who have faith in Jesus Christ. Unity of believers consists of the following; the people of God, body of Christ, the church, vine and the branch and finally the bride. For one to understand better read the following verses; 1 peter 2:9-10, 1 corr 12:12-27, Ephe 5:21-32, John 15:1-10, Rev 21:1-12

[Gladys]

Unity is very important in everything because it leads to success. We look at unity in scripture and based on what we learn then, will try to apply to our churches. The unity of the Godhead is stressed in

Deuteronomy 6:4

Hear, O Israel: The LORD our god, the LORD is one.

Because God is one in three persons our love towards Him and each other must be undivided.

God’s unity is reflected in the creation of marriage whereby two different opposite sex joined together and form a new organism and become one thing (equal).

After the fall of Adam it was through Jesus’ death on the cross and His resurrection that made man to regain the option of freed from the power of sin and the wages of sin. For those who believe Jesus and are in Him the unity of sin and death will be destroyed.

[nancyshanice]

Unity is power, and with power you can do anything you wish. Christ said that we should be united as the body is, because the many parts of the body together perform a common function; let’s have that believe that without the help of one another we can’t move on. If we be dependent on each other then we would be successful.

[Mercy20]

Pretense among Christians is a way of seeking to hide a true inner character of person before fellow men, but kept in mind no sin is a secret before God, even if one pretends to be a righteous person outwardly the God above has his gauge for us , avoid pretense.

[lynkez]

Jesus is the head of the church as the vine and we are the followers as the branches. He says that no one can go to the father except through Him. Any branch in the vine that does not bear fruit will He cut and throw into the fire.

[Alloys]

The unity of the body of Christ is crucial in the sense that every part of the body is expected to perform it is designed task. For a body to be said that it complete there are several things that are considered. So every member of the body must co-ordinate with the others to make it complete as it ought to be.
