"May God, who gives patience and encouragement, help you live in complete harmony with each other, as is fitting the followers of Jesus Christ. Then all of you can join together with ONE VOICE, giving praise and glory to God."
Do you think that there is unity in the Christian church? Do you think that all Christians speak with one voice? Do you think we should live in harmony with each other and give praise and glory to God in ONE VOICE? The One Truth Today lets us know how God feels about the issue! We must have the patience and courage to live in complete harmony with other Christians. After all each of us have one common goal on earth, to give praise and glory to Jesus Christ and to worship Him. Individually it is not an impossible task, we are doing it now. The trick is to join together as one body, in unison and with singleness of purpose. It begins with each of us. Pray that the Lord gives all believer's the patience and courage to live in harmony with one another. Pray that we join in one voice to give glory and praise to Jesus Christ, the Lord God!
We need to be steadfast in our desire to live in mutual harmony, having full sympathy for one another. We must be of one accord in worshiping Jesus Christ. God is the one who can give us the power of patience and endurance by His encouragement. First we each must have our heart right with God, then together we may unite our hearts and speak with one voice. Many have reached this point of spiritual maturity and can unite and become one minded. Many attempts have been made to unify all Christians and their doctrines, but rather than dogma we should focus on the person of Jesus Christ. This scripture invites us all to love God and become as one and join together and speak with ONE VOICE!
We should look for opportunities to join with other followers of Jesus Christ and praise and glorify Him. In the upper room in Jerusalem, I will never forget singing with groups from all over the world. We all knew the same praise songs and together we made a heavenly choir. We united our hearts and our voices and became one body. We united and any divisions became secondary to the purpose for our whole lives. Our purpose on earth is to Worship and Glorify God. If it is possible to do this in one instance, it is possible to do this repeatedly and often. Make a promise to be a uniter and not a divider. Pray to God that He will give us ONE VOICE!
