Some brief thoughts on christian unity. [edited for suitability in public domain!]
-If God required a certain percentage alignment between His Truth and our understanding of it before calling us one in Him, we'd be damned. Our view of Truth is so incredibly dim and often twisted by our finite minds, our "old man" and our deceitful hearts.
-Jesus prays in John 17 that believers would be one just as He and the Father are one, for the purpose of showing the world the truth about Him. Why is this unity such a rarity? Why do we place such an emphasis on correct knowledge, but spend far less time rebuking lovelessness and cold hearts?
-Knowledge of every divine mystery without love still leaves us with nothing. [1 Cor13]
-How much difference can there be between two brothers or sisters in Christ before God considers it to be a division and is grieved in His heart.
