ONE LORD, ONE FAITH, ONE BAPTISM
TEXT: EPHESIANS 4:3-6
TUESDAY DECEMBER 6th
Key verse: Ephesians 4:4-5-There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
There is one body; the church. This one church has the property that makes it one. So, if where you are is a church of Christ, it must have this property. It says, there is one body; the body of Christ. That church should be part of the body of Christ, and if it must be part of the body of Christ, the Bible says it should also be controlled, ruled, directed, formulated, and regenerated by one Spirit; the Spirit of God. That church must be the handwork of the Holy Spirit. The Spirit of God has worked in that church. The people are born again; the people are living in the liberty of God, free from sin. For where the Spirit of God is, there is liberty; liberty from sin, freedom from the devil.
One hope, even as we are called off one calling with the same mind to go to heaven, the hope of salvation that one day, we shall leave this earth and go to heaven. This is the hope of that church. One faith: Faith talks about one doctrine, the same belief. We should believe and practice the same thing. One baptism: This speaks of transformation, regeneration, cleansing, and born-again gain experience that all who are in Christ receive.
One Lord: One Jesus that commands the affairs of that church, the Lord and Master in authority. If that church belongs to Him, it must submit to Him and not to the authority of man. It must not have Jesus in the second position as it has been in the Catholic Church where Mary is exalted above Jesus. That is not His church. He must be exalted above man, above the preacher, above everybody. He must be the Lord; before Him, everybody bows and every tongue confesses; even the tongue of the preacher.
Thought for the day: Do not be divided by denominationalism. Be one in Christ.
Song for the day: We are heirs of the Father, we arejointheirss with the Son …
Bible reading for the day: Daniel 7-8; 1 John 5
