Christian
unity is not something that has to be manufactured. The Holy Spirit has
made us one in Christ--one family, one body, one temple. Unity is
something we must diligently work at in order to preserve it. And as
Jesus told us, when God's people demonstrate their unity and love for
one another, it declares to a watching world the undeniability of the
love of God as demonstrated by His Son's loving sacrifice for sin on the
cross. It draws people to the body--it evangelizes.
"Being
diligent to preserve the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace" is a
vital ongoing ministry of God's people. Diligent.
