Ephesions chapter 4 verses 1 through 6.

I therefore a prisoner for the Lord urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling

to which you have been called,

with all humility and gentleness,

with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the

unity of the spirit and the bond of peace. There is one body and one spirit just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call.

One Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and father of all, who is overall and through all and in all. What a beautiful, powerful passage of scripture as Paul exhorts the church

at Ephesus to with eagerness like bend over backward to maintain the

unity you have in the church around Jesus and his word.

And this is a word, I'm convinced we need to hear.

We desperately need to hear and heed amidst a toxic, divisive political

climate, specifically in the United States right now, where there is so much tension and so much division over political candidates and parties to see the effects of that division in the church and God is calling us to bend over backwards,

to maintain the unity of the spirit and the bond of peace.

Now this isn't just like some ambiguous unity.

This is a strong unity around a strong center,

the strongest center of all, the spirit of God, the son of God,

unity around Jesus and His Word.

So everyone in the church is going to believe the Bible and embrace the gospel and

as a result we have shared common foundations when it comes to even political positions on all kinds of things

that are clear in the Bible and in accord with the gospel.

Like all Christians we're united because we all love God's word
