The Christian's Worthy Walk: Personal Reformation, Part 3

God’s intent has always been for His people to dwell together in unity. His New Covenant work is to make us a people of one heart, mind, and purpose under submission to Christ. But let’s be honest, we separate over many things and have divided into many denominations over the centuries. Yet we know that Scripture says that there is only one Body, one Spirit, one Hope, one Lord, one Faith, and one God and Father. Does this lack of unity in the Church mean that God is no longer working? No, but it is evidence that we are naturally susceptible to immaturity and strife, and that we have a very real enemy who desires the destruction of the work of God. Does the presence of disunity mean that we should all return to the Catholic Church? No, because not all division is wrong. We are not to pursue unity itself, but Christ. And pursuing Christ means conforming ourselves to the truth of His Word, not the traditions of men. So pursue faithfulness, and walk worthy! Be diligent to preserve the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace, and remember that unity is not the idol we worship, but the fruit of walking with God.
