b"It is easy to get caught up in all the differences from one church to another and from one denomination to another. The church is not four walls and a roof, but rather the body of believers.\\xa0\\xa0
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\nRegardless of what denomination you may call yourself, if you call yourself a Christian you worship Christ and believe these fundamental truths:\\xa0
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\nChrist is truly human and truly God
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\nChrist was born of the Vergin Mary
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\nChrist died for our sins
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\nChrist rose from the dead
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\nChrist ascended into heaven and will return to judge the living and the dead
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\nAs long as you believe in these essentials, this is what's important. Different denominations can disagree on other matters, and there's vast diversity among them. But the fact that they can all agree on these essentials indicates their importance to all Christians.\\xa0
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\nAll this diversity is what we should expect from a religion that spans the whole world and has lasted over two thousand years.\\xa0

\\nJohn Wesley said, \\u201cWe may not all believe alike, but we can all love alike.\\u201d We may disagree on important matters like Christian baptism. However, we can still find the foundation for our fellowship with one another and treat one another with genuine respect\\u2014as members of the body of Christ (1 Cor. 12:1\\u201314:40).
\\n
\\n
\\n
\\nWe must put our differences aside and work together to reach a lost and hurting world so that heaven may be more filled."
