The focus of this section is to bring us, as the Church, the Body of Christ Himself, back to the basic fundamentals of our own beliefs. Back to the ABC's of Jesus Christ as Jesus Christ is. To instill a quality of certainty to our own personal knowledge in God, His Word and ourselves. Why? So we all would know who we are and where we came from. So we all would know who He is and what He has done. Nobody can take those away from us once we have absorbed and assimilated them into ourselves. This is so there would be no confusion, no separateness, no division in the Body, because if there is, then the Body is weakened and the enemy can easily undermine God's work. You see, the best way to dispose of your enemy is to divide and conquer, separate and confuse, which takes away their numbers and confidence. They are then weakened, divided and easily overcome. I sincerely believe that there is only one true way to live, believe, be taught, give, in and through what God has done for us in the lord Jesus Christ. EPHESIANS 4:4-6
(KJV)
4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are 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.
(The Living Bible)
We are all parts of one body, we have the same Spirit, and we have all been called to the same glorious future. For us there is only one Lord, one faith, one baptism, and we all have the same God and Father who is over us all and in us all, and living through every part of us.
(Phillips)
You all belong to one body, of which there is one Spirit, just as you all experienced one calling to one hope. There is one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God, one Father of us all, who is the one over all, the one working through all and the one living in all..
(Way)
Unity !--one Body, one Spirit, just as one was the hope that breathed in the Call that you heard
One Lord is ours, one faith, one baptism, one God, the Father of all sovereign over all, pervading all, and in all indwelling...
If we could all just think a minute about the best way to perform together in harmony. It is when all are focused on the same subject, at the same time. When all have learned, know and believe in the same things, the truth, as it is "IN CHRIST" Jesus. Then all have come to know the same things and believe the same things in a sure definition of the language we use to communicate with each other. Can you see the importance in this? If we don't, each and every one of us, understand certain key words and/or phrases of God's Word as God has defined them then our knowledge is incomplete and fallible. This means the communication with God, with those of His household, is broken and imperfect. This imperfection, this break down in complete and total communication can be avoided by accepting the language of God communicated to us through His Spirit, in His word, in truth. If we don't know who He is beyond a shadow of a doubt we will always doubt it. If we don't know what He has done for us in and through the Person of The Christ then we will always have a doubt, won't we? |
