Unity In The Church

As we discuss Unity In The Church in this Faith Direction LIVE feel free to add comments and give what God givers you! Fallow along with us and the scripture below if you like as well.

1 Corinthians 12 12-22 – 12. For as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body, being many, are one body, so also is Christ. 13. For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free—and have all been made to drink [g]into one Spirit. 14. For in fact the body is not one member but many. 15. If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I am not of the body,” is it therefore not of the body? 16. And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I am not of the body,” is it therefore not of the body?

17. If the whole body were an eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where would be the smelling? 18. But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body just as He pleased. 19. And if they were all one member, where would the body be? 20. But now indeed there are many members, yet one body. 21. And the eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you”; nor again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.” 22. No, much rather, those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary.

Ephesians 4 1-6 – 1. I, therefore, the prisoner [a]of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, 2. with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, 3. endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 4. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; 5. one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6 one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all

Ephesians 4:11-13 – 11. So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, 12. to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up 13. until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.

Colossians 3:13-14 – 13. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 14. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.

John 17:23 – 23. I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.

1 John 4:12 – 12. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.

Psalm 133:1 – 1. How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity!
