Keep The Unity

Ephesians 4:3 - Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.

Romans 15:5-6 - May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had, so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Colossians 3:15 - Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.

Ephesians 2:14-16 - For he himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, by setting aside in his flesh the law with its commands and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new humanity out of the two, thus making peace, and in one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility.

Application:

· Do I keep the unity, that God produced through the reconciling death of Christ, from being disturbed?
· If my conclusions are different than other believers, do I agree to disagree in love?
· Does the attitude of peace rule in my relationships? Or, does the attitude of bitterness and quarrelsomeness rule?
· Am I part of a united body of believers?
