How important is unity?

Am I making a deliberate effort to work towards unity?

I don’t want to cause division in the church body.

Apostle Paul believed that unity is essential.

Am I endeavoring?

“I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to 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. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all (Ephesians 4:1-6 NKJV).”

With love, His church is endeavoring to keep unity of the Spirit.

“And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, 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 of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ (Ephesians 4:11-13 NKJV).”

Like Zacchaeus, I am short in stature. By God’s grace, I’m growing in the fullness of Christ.
