A Commissioned Vision, Pt. 5

In part 5 of our series, we examine the necessity of unity within the body of Christ through Paul's words in Ephesians 4:1-5 and Philippians 1:27, both of which offer us a picture of behaving in certain ways that are fitting for followers of Jesus and citizens of heaven.

We must exhibit certain attitudes of unity, including humility, gentleness, and patience. These attitudes will lay the foundation for certain behaviors of unity, mainly bearing with one another in love and eagerly maintaining unity in the body of Christ.

And in the end, this will require certain commitments on the part of all in the church, including standing firm in the faith, and striving together as we fight a common enemy who seeks to bring division in the church.
