November 4, 2024 – What Does Unity Among Believers Mean?
Psalm 133:1
Sermon: 2128 Enemies of Revival, Part 2
Pray Over This
“Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!”
Psalm 133:1
Ponder This
On the Day of Pentecost, one of the first things we see is that the believers were united. The Bible tells us in Acts 2:1, “When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.” The Body of Christ needs a unity that will pass over denominational lines. The problem is that the devil hates unity. God brings us together; the devil divides us. But the altar unites us. And today, we need to restore our unity.
Now, there are some things we won’t sacrifice. I’m not talking about cult-like unity—I’m talking about people who are blood-bought brothers and sisters in Christ. They may not cross every T and dot every I exactly the same way we do, but if they’re in the family of God, they are our brothers and sisters. We need to pray that all believers in our city, all believers in our state, all believers in our country, and all believers in the world will come together and be as Jesus prayed for us to be: “that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me.” (John 17:21).
Love your brothers and sisters in Christ—no matter the color of their skin, their age, or their social status. Put your arms around them. Bring them in. Don’t shut them out, and don’t divide over unnecessary things. When we get together, we can do wonderful and glorious things.
