Unity; The Absence of
The absence of unity is the absence of Love, true Love produces unity.
The thought of us as Christians being in unity took center stage in my mind because of an experience I had. The Lord showed me how the enemy uses the absence of unity to steal, and to kill, and to destroy us. Whenever the topic of unity comes up, God always uses the body as illustration. Ephesians 4:16 says, “from whom the body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh the increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love,” Ephesians 4:16.
The sense is, the whole body is arranged for growth and rigor, the body also depends on every part functioning according to how its created. Every member of our human body is strategically placed because of it’s function. Every part properly comes together in unison to sustain the body. In other-words the body is fastened and secured because of the contribution of every part and this causes growth. This growth signifies completeness.
All this is achieved on the principle of love, for God so loved…. This love produces perfect harmony, every member or part of our body contributing to its growth and effectiveness. What then would be the reason behind the absence of unity? How effective can a body be without unity, without love? Food for thought!
God Bless.
