Daily devotion – unity
This coming Sunday we will be teaching from Ephesians chapter 4. In this chapter, Paul will exhort the Church to “keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace…”
Many people attempt to unite Christians in a way that is just not biblical. I cannot tell you how many times over the years, I have heard people with a shallow knowledge of Scripture at best, say “We are not interested in doctrines but just in love. Now, let’s forget about doctrines and just love one another!”
But note with me please the following – Paul did not discuss spiritual unity in the first three chapters; he waited until he had laid the doctrinal foundation first.
Now whilst not all Christians agree on some minor matters of Christian doctrine, they all do agree on the foundation truths of THE faith. Unity built on anything else other than Bible truth is standing on a very shaky foundation indeed.
Therefore, I encourage you to go over the first three chapters of the book of Ephesians once more before we launch into chapter 4.
Let us make sure our foundation is built on the Rock indeed!
