We Are Unity
Leddy Hammock

\\n

How do we \\u201ckeep the unity of the spirit\\u201d? We do this not just by putting up with one another, but by \\u201cbearing with one another in love\\u201d (Ephesians 4).

\\n

How are we \\u201cbrought to complete unity\\u201d (John 17)? We do this not just by belonging to the same \\u201cteam,\\u201d but by beholding the Christ in one another.

\\n

How do we become \\u201cGod\\u2019s chosen people . . . all together in perfect unity\\u201d (Colossians 3)? We do this not just by attending the same church, but by learning to live by the universal laws that Jesus demonstrated.

\\n

How do we make life on earth \\u201cgood and pleasant\\u201d (Psalm 133)? We do this not by pretending everything is okay, but by actively living our faith, choosing to express our unity with God and one another.

\\n

When we do this, then we are Unity!
