Jesus prayed that we would be one as He and the Father are one.

Ephesians 4 clarifies that the unity Jesus cries out for is not in thought or doctrine, but in the Spirit.

The only thing we all have in common is that we contain the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead.

Therefore, those who walk according to the Spirit will be one.

But as soon as we get our thoughts involved, unity begins to erode. Have you noticed how easy it is to talk yourself out of unity?

“Well, if they don’t believe this about the Holy Spirit... If they don’t understand the timing of the end times...” and the list goes on.

God is not impressed with your doctrine. He’s not even impressed with mine.

What God is looking for is a humble people who realize we don’t know it all. So, let’s enjoy the adventure of knowing God more and more.

Our only hope of becoming one in Christ is by walking according to the Spirit.
