New Song Community Church

When Jesus prayed (John 17) that His disciples would be one, did He expect all Christians to believe the same things and follow the same leaders and teachers? No. The different expressions of faith in Jesus Christ that exist in the global Church are beautiful and necessary. We are instructed to live in patience and honor with each other (Romans 14). The unity that Jesus was praying for, and requires of us, is a oneness of faith and Spirit in Him. Ephesians 4:2–3 With all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
