Peace – Unity – Fellowship · 2010-07-22
We have all heard military veterans speak of the bond they formed with their comrades in arms. In a similar way, we Christians are engaged in a war. We are engaged in a war that has eternal consequences. Our enemy is clearly identified. We must cultivate a sense of unity in order to present a unified front against the attacks of the Evil One. We must provide protection and support for each other. Peace and unity prevail in an environment where we feel safe….safe to be vulnerable…safe to admit sin…safe to try something for God even if we fail. We are safe within this bond of fellowship. We seek unbroken fellowship with God and with one another. We devote ourselves single-mindedly and whole-heartedly to the purposes of God.
“Salt is good; but if the salt becomes unsalty, with what will you make it salty again? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another.” Mark 9:50
“Now may the God who gives perseverance and encouragement grant you to be of the same mind with one another according to Christ Jesus” Romans 15:5
“And that you esteem them very highly in love because of their work. Live in peace with one another”
I Thess 5:13
“But if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.” I John 1:7
