The church is often referred to as the body of Christ, made up of many different parts all working together to fulfill God’s purpose. (1 Corinthians 12:12) Just as our physical bodies rely on different limbs and organs to function properly, the church relies on its members to work together in unity to achieve its full potential.
When we come together in faith, we find strength in our unity. (Psalm 133:1) We are able to support one another, encourage each other, and build each other up in our walk with God. (1 Thessalonians 5:11) This unity is not just a nice idea, but a commandment from God Himself. (John 17:21-23)
In a world filled with division and strife, the church should be a shining example of what it means to be united in love and purpose. (John 13:35) We are called to put aside our differences and come together in the name of Jesus, just as He prayed for us in the Garden of Gethsemane. (John 17:21)
When we are united, we are unstoppable. We are able to accomplish far more together than we could ever hope to accomplish alone. (Matthew 18:19-20) We are able to reach out to our communities and share the love of God with those around us. (Matthew 28:18-20)
Let us strive to be a church that is united in our love for God and for one another. Let us put aside our petty differences and come together in the name of Jesus. For when we are united, we are strong. And when we are strong, we are able to fulfill God’s purpose for our lives.
