The church is one body with many
members, called from every nation, kindred, tongue, and people. In Christ we
are a new creation; distinctions of race, culture, learning, and nationality,
and differences between high and low, rich and poor, male and female, must not
be divisive among us. We are all equal in Christ, who by one Spirit has bonded
us into one fellowship with one another; we are to serve and be served without
partiality or reservation.
One of God’s gifts to his church is unity.
ØJust as the Father, Son, and Spirit
are one, so should the members of the church be united. John 17:20 – 23
ØAs God’s children we are a united
family. Ephesians 4:1-6
Despite their widely varied backgrounds, Christians are
a new creation and are united in full equality in Christ.
ØNo matter what we are like before
we accepted Christ , we become part
of one body in Him. Romans 12:4-5; 1 Cor
12:12-14
ØThere are no class distinctions in
God’s sight. 2 Cor 5:16-17; Acts 17:26-27
ØLove toward one another should
characterize the members of Christ’s body. John 13:34-35; 1 John 3:14
ØIn Christ all class distinctions
dissolve and we become one people; joint heirs of God’s promises to Abraham.
Galatians 3:27-29
