1. Unity
1. Unity
a) Throughout the centuries since the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the church has often had a difficult time in agreeing with each other. There are obviously numerous denominations and even many differences even within denominations.
b) There are many reasons for this dynamic. Sometimes things like church traditions and differing biblical interpretations seem to get in the way of unity.
c) But what does the Bible say about unity? There are many passages to gain an understanding of what Christian unity should look like.
1 Peter 3:8
Finally, all of you, have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind.

Matthew 18:15
If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained your brother.
Romans 12:16
Live in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly. Never be wise in your own sight.
1 Corinthians 1:10
I appeal to you, brothers, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and the same judgment.
