President Biden this past week called for Unity
Many politicians have used the word without really meaning it
Regardless of your feelings about our new administration,
Unity is something we should strive for in this world
How is that really possible, you ask?
God is God of ALL
“4 Therefore I, the prisoner of the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called, 2 with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, 3 being diligent to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you also were called in one hope of your calling; 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all.”
Vs 1 says walk in a manner worthy of your calling
In other words, don’t do things to draw people away from God
What we need to do is show God’s love in all we do.
I know that sometimes we let the world’s ugliness get to us,
It is speaking of being tolerant of our human failures, tolerant in love
Meaning, we are to be united with God, and by doing so, walk worthy of Him
Knowing this, we must be unified in our walk with Christ, worthy of our calling
This unity, this oneness, means stop trying to be about you
Satan is the prince of this world, and, because of that, tribulation abounds
We get caught up in worldly things and act all kind of crazy
We don’t understand how some of the leaders of this country got there
Let me remind you that no one gains power without God giving it to them
“6 one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all.”
God and Father of ALL
Over ALL, through ALL, and in ALL
ALL means…….
ALL
So, if God is God of ALL, and He told us to walk in a manner worthy of Him,
We need to do exactly what He called us to do
Live our life reflecting the love of Christ so others can see Jesus in us.
Are you ready to walk worthy for the God of ALL today?
Are you ready to be Unified in the Spirit?
