Helpful reminders that unity and working together are important.
We are capable in blessing one another, keeping one another accountable, instructing one another...as a few examples. Not that we want to but that we can and we should.
As I visited, Alliance Bible Church several weeks ago. It is important to know even though we don't have a specified leader to lead us, the church is us, the church isn't incapable of anything...
You yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 1 Peter 2:5 ESV
that's us...living stones. God the father is our cornerstone, our solid rock. But we are numerous, there are different types of people that go to my church. There are other people that go to different denominations of churches. There are so many different people...how can we be united?...
For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body— Jews or Greeks, slaves or free—and all were made to drink of one Spirit. For the body does not consist of one member but of many. [...] But God has so composed the body, giving greater honor to the part that lacked it, that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another. If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, all rejoice together. 1 Corinthians 12:12-14, 24B-26 ESV
so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. Romans 12:5 ESV
