In this continuation of the series on Unity in the Body of Christ, we learn about how we have to make every effort to keep and preserve the unity of the Spirit by seeking those things which tend to, and make for peace – “one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.” Ephesians 4:3-6.

In this continuation of the series on Unity in the Body of Christ, we learn about the characteristics of a true unity in spirit and how we have to maintain the unity of the Spirit through Christ: by loving others earnestly from a pure heart, by showing compassion towards others and by setting ourselves free from pride and arrogance through humility. Note: This is a part in a series on Unity in the Body of Christ. We apologize that we were not able to post previous sermons on this series.

“Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. 13 Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it…”

“I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, 11 and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead”

“If someone else thinks they have reasons to put confidence in the flesh, I have more: 5 circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; in regard to the law, a Pharisee; 6 as for zeal, persecuting the church; as for righteousness based on the law, faultless…”

“Further, my brothers and sisters, rejoice in the Lord! It is no trouble for me to write the same things to you again, and it is a safeguard for you. 2 Watch out for those dogs, those evildoers, those mutilators of the flesh. 3 For it is we who are the circumcision, we who serve God by his Spirit, who boast in Christ Jesus, and who put no confidence in the flesh—”
