What is the significance of having unity in the church?

Answered in 1 source

Unity in the church is vital for a collective witness and effectiveness in mission.

Unity in the church reflects the bond that believers have in Christ and is essential for fulfilling the Great Commission. The refusal of Zerubbabel and Joshua to accept help from those who do not worship the true God highlights the importance of unity around the truth of the gospel. In Ephesians 4:3, Paul counsels believers to be 'eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.' This unity is founded on shared beliefs in core doctrines, and when compromised, can weaken the church's witness. The importance of this unity is further echoed in Philippians 2:2, where Paul encourages believers to be of the same mind, having the same love, and being in full accord and of one mind, emphasizing that doctrine should unify the body of Christ.
