“Now I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you be in agreement and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and the same purpose. 11 For it has been reported to me by Chloe’s people that there are quarrels among you, my brothers and sisters. 12 What I mean is that each of you says, “I belong to Paul,” or “I belong to Apollos,” or “I belong to Cephas,” or “I belong to Christ.” 13 Has Christ been divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?” (1 Corinthians 1: 10-13).

“And so, brothers and sisters, I could not speak to you as spiritual people, but rather as people of the flesh, as infants in Christ. 2 I fed you with milk, not solid food, for you were not ready for solid food. Even now you are still not ready, 3 for you are still of the flesh. For as long as there is jealousy and quarreling among you, are you not of the flesh, and behaving according to human inclinations? 4 For when one says, “I belong to Paul,” and another, “I belong to Apollos,” are you not merely human? 5 What then is Apollos? What is Paul? Servants through whom you came to believe, as the Lord assigned to each. 6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth. 7 So neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth” (1 Corinthians 3: 1-7).

Now, if we have accepted Christ as our savior, we are a son or a daughter of God. This makes all Christians part of the same family. In Christ Jesus, we have become a new creation and a son of God or a daughter of God. 2 Corinthians 5:17, “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.” Galatians 3:26, “In Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith.”

We have faith in Christ when we hear His voice and follow Him, and Jesus leads all Christians to be one in Him, so that through Jesus, we become one with the Father.  So, if we truly understand our spiritual position in Christ, we would understand that we are One with God the Father through Christ, and this is the reason why the world hates us. We are in the same position Jesus was when the Jews were going to stone Him, with the difference that at times those who want to stone us could be “religious” people passing as Christian, who are the same who are causing the division in the Body of Christ.  But, just like in the last days which we are living, the Jews (our brothers) will accept in their hearts the true gospel of Christ, the Grace of God, and this will usher in the peace that they and the whole world have so desperately searched, what the law could never do.

“Jesus answered, “I have told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father’s name testify to me; but you do not believe, because you do not belong to my sheep. My sheep hear my voice. I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish. No one will snatch them out of my hand. What my Father has given me is greater than all else, and no one can snatch it out of the Father’s hand. The Father and I are one.” The Jews took up stones again to stone him. Jesus replied, “I have shown you many good works from the Father. For which of these are you going to stone me?” The Jews answered, “It is not for a good work that we are going to stone you, but for blasphemy, because you, though only a human being, are making yourself God.” Jesus answered, “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, you are gods’? If those to whom the word of God came were called ‘gods’—and the scripture cannot be annulled— can you say that the one whom the Father has sanctified and sent into the world is blaspheming because I said, ‘I am God’s Son’? If I am not doing the works of my Father, then do not believe me. But if I do them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works, so that you may know and understand that the Father is in me and I am in the Father.” Then they tried to arrest him again, but he escaped from their hands.” (John 10: 25-39).

“I say, “You are gods, children of the Most High, all of you;” (Psalm 82:6).

“You should know that you yourselves are God’s temple. God’s Spirit lives in you. If you destroy God’s temple, God will destroy you, because God’s temple is holy. You yourselves are God’s temple” (1 Corinthians 3: 16-17).

Now, the unity in our families and in the Body of Christ are accomplished the moment that like Paul, we recognize our weaknesses, for it is in our weaknesses that the power of God is perfected:

“But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” I will all the more gladly boast of my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities; for when I am weak, then I am strong” (2 Corinthians 12:9-11).

We must never forget that the unity of the body of Christ is God’s purpose for the true church of Christ, and even if this seems humanly impossible, do not forget that “…nothing is impossible for God” (Luke 1:37). We may face all kinds of hardships along the way, but remember that “we know that in everything God works for good, with those who love him, who are called according to his purpose” (Romans 8:28), and “this is love: it is not that we loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son as the sacrifice that deals with our sins” (1 John 4:10).  In other words, our love for God comes from our acknowledgment of His love for us, and not the other way around.

“Now I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you be in agreement and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be united in the same mind and the same purpose. For it has been reported to me by Chloe’s people that there are quarrels among you, my brothers and sisters. What I mean is that each of you says, “I belong to Paul,” or “I belong to Apollos,” or “I belong to Cephas,” or “I belong to Christ.” Has Christ been divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?” (1 Corinthians 1: 10-13).

Finally, do not be discouraged if your efforts to unite with other Christians meets you with all kinds of challenges and disappointments.  Our disappointments could very well be divine appointments!!! I am a living testimony of this truth. AMEN.
