Unity of Believers

Psa_133:1  A Song of degrees of David. Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!

Eph_4:3  Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

Eph_4:13  Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:

Each of these verses of scripture have one thing in common, the word UNITY.  That word is not found anywhere else in the King James Bible.   It seems to be fashionable these days to disagree with what has been taught for thousands of years.  What once was considered sin is no longer considered to be sin.

God is looking for a church that has not strayed from His Word.  We are to live holy and walk in holiness.  How can we be the righteousness of God when we can't even decide what is right and what is wrong?  Is God divided against Himself?

How can the Light of Christ be shown to the lost when we are not in agreement with God?  How can you call yourself His when you refuse to stand on what is right?

These last few weeks we have heard about a woman, Kim Davis, who stood up for what the Word of God says.  It is expected to get backlash from the lost and those who love the very thing she stands against but it is sad to see many of those she calls brother and sister to come against her.

No matter what anyone thinks, she is not forcing anyone to agree with her.  She is standing on the Word of God even if no one else believes it.  This nation was founded upon the principle of Freedom of Religion.  The federal government should not be allowed to interfere with her beliefs because they are not causing harm to anyone.

How many of us would allow our children, or someone other person's children, to go play in the street or on the highway?  Many people really have no clue as to what is right and wrong.  To not warn them of what awaits them if they do not repent is to say, "I don't care about you at all."  It is the same as saying, "I HATE YOU!  I hope you burn in HELL!"

According to the three verses I posted above, unity must be on our dwelling, in the spirit and in our faith.  Without all three, we have fallen short of what God expects from us and if we are not careful, we will lose out on what God has for us.

My advice to you is, study the Word, stop disagreeing with everything everyone says.  Prove or disprove what is spoken or preached by the Word of God,  Lastly, stand on what is right, not what is popular.  Jesus tells us to come out of the world.  Don't you think it's time we took Him at His Word?
