* Unity is a gift of God and is the result of being on mission for God with others.
* Notice how the Israelites united “as one man.”
* How could this happen?
* They weren’t arising “as one man” to go to a concert, or party, or church service, or coffee social.
* They arose against injustice.
* They had a common enemy and a common goal to defeat them.
* This always brings unity - for better or for worse.
* vs 11 - their hearts were angered at injustice and they arose “as one man” to bring about justice.
* Unity was the result, not the goal.
* The unity resulting from Love Life is the same way.
* Standing against injustice bring true unity.
* The key is understanding God’s definition of justice and not your own.
* When you represent the God of justice and you stand against injustice unity with others who represent the same God who have the same goal will be the result.
