How do we know the Church is one?

Answered in 1 source

The unity of the Church is established by scriptural teachings that affirm there is one body, one Spirit, and one Lord, as in Ephesians 4:4-6.

The Scriptures affirm the oneness of the Church through various declarations about the nature of believers' unity. Ephesians 4:4-6 teaches that there is one body, one Spirit, one hope, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, and one God. This means that all true believers are united not just in the external identity of religion, but in core spiritual truths that define their faith. Each believer’s condition in Christ, their shared hope for eternal life, and their common calling all contribute to this unity. As articulated in Colossians 1:18, Christ is the head of the body, which is the Church, and this headship ensures that true unity exists in the one body of Christ, regardless of denominational differences.
