How do we know that God's promise of unity is true?
Answered in 1 source
God's promise of unity is affirmed through His Word and the example of love demonstrated in Christ.
The assurance of God’s promise of unity is rooted in His unchanging character and the redemptive work of Christ. In Ephesians 4:13-14, Paul points to a future where believers will attain full knowledge of Christ and participate in a perfected unity. The foundation of this promise lies in the character of God, who desires for His church to be one, reflecting the unity found within the Trinity. Jesus' prayer in John 17 further underlines this truth, as He intercedes for His followers to be one. Thus, our confidence in this promise stems from God’s faithfulness and Christ's sacrificial love, which undergirds our calling to unity.
