Christian unity quotes2/18/2024 Now I plead with you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. Disunity Brings Contentions And Divisions We have to become one with God because God alone is all powerful and what the devil is unable to do to God, he cannot do to us, God’s children. Notice that Jesus said no one can snatch us who have received eternal life from God’s hand and from his hand too, why? Because they are one. Jesus Is One With God The FatherĪnd I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father’s hand. I and My Father are one.” John 10:28-30. Jesus was one with the father and was able to fulfil his mission here on earth. If Jesus took time to pray to God for us believers to be one, then there is some force and power in unity and oneness that Jesus knows about and wants the same for us. I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. Ecclesiaties 4:9-12 Jesus Prayed For Unity Among All Believers Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him.Īnd a threefold cord is not quickly broken. Unity Produces A Good Rewardīecause they have a good reward for their labor.įor if they fall, one will lift up his companion.īut woe to him who is alone when he falls,Īgain, if two lie down together, they will keep warm The importance or result of unity is also revealed in these verses. Here are 30+ bible verses to encourage a daily prayer for unity amidst diversity and disunity in your family, marriage, church, ministry, work etc. We are not ignorant of the devil’s devices and continue to use the word of God to overcome the devil. Throughout my marriage I have always been blessed with this scripture whenever we face crisis, because I know that the devil uses division to stop me and my husband from achieving what God has planned for us. ‘Can two walk together unless they are agreed?’ (Amos 3:3). I started thinking about the importance of unity or oneness in the bible and why it is important to strive for unity in our homes, churches and communities despite the opposition we may encounter. It suddenly dawned on me that unity is required for success in every area of our lives not just the church. In the News last night a sports coach was asked if his team had prepared enough to win, and he stated that the team members have to be united because that is the only way to win. Self-rejection is the greatest enemy of the spiritual life because it contradicts the sacred voice that calls us the "Beloved." Being the Beloved constitutes the core truth of our existence.I have been hearing about unity a lot this week the person leading prayer at church last Sunday lead us to pray for unity in the church and among ourselves. I deserve to be pushed aside, forgotten, rejected, and abandoned. As soon as someone accuses me or criticizes me, as soon as I am rejected, left alone, or abandoned, I find myself thinking, "Well, that proves once again that I am a nobody.". The real trap, however, is self-rejection. When we have come to believe in the voices that call us worthless and unlovable, then success, popularity, and power are easily perceived as attractive solutions.
