How do we know the permanence of church unity in Christ?
Answered in 1 source
Scripture assures us that church unity is established by Christ’s sacrifice and maintained through the Holy Spirit.
The permanence of church unity stems from the work of Christ on the cross, as emphasized in Ephesians 2:14, where Paul states, 'For he himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one.' This union is not dependent on external factors or affinities but on the supernatural work of the Holy Spirit. Believers are collectively transformed into the body of Christ, which is a living testament to the power of grace. Moreover, this unity engenders a community that actively embraces differences, showcasing the depth and beauty of the gospel. Through continuous reliance on the Spirit, the church is strengthened and grows in grace, affirming the reality of our unified identity.
