TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER IS NOT A MATTER OF CHOICE, BUT A COMMANDMENT.
CHRIST CHOSEN APOSTLES:
AS CHOSEN AND BELOVED OF CHRIST, THERE IS NO REASON UNDER THE BLUE SKY TO BE AT WAR WITH ONE ANOTHER BY REASON OF DENOMINATION. WE MAY BE OF SEPARATE DENOMINATION BUT WE ARE ALL ONE IN CHRIST AND UNDER THE AUTHORITY OF THE SAME GOD, AND EQUALLY IMPUTED TO THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF CHRIST JESUS. TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER IS NOT A MATTER OF CHOICE, BUT A COMMANDMENT BY THE SAME GOD WHO CALLED US TO HIS VINEYARD. (JOHN, 13:-34-35)
INASMUCH AS THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD FOR ALL, AND ONLY ONE SHEPHERD FOR THE FLOCK, THE PRECIOUS BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST HAS MADE US ONE. JOHN, 10:-11, & 16: JESUS PROCLAIMED, I AM THE GOOD SHEPHERD: THE GOOD SHEPHERD GIVES HIS LIFE FOR THE SHEEP. AND OTHER SHEEP I HAVE, WHICH ARE NOT OF THIS FOLD; THEM ALSO I MUST BRING, AND THEY SHALL HEAR MY VOICE, AND THERE SHALL BE ONE FOLD, AND ONE SHEPHERD.”
AS FOR THOSE SEPARATISTS WHO ARE BUSY PREACHING DIVISION AMONG THE BODY OF CHRIST, THEY WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR DEEDS ON THAT DAY. (ROMANS, 2:-6) AS WE STILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY, LET US REPENT AND DO THE RIGHT THING BEFORE WE ARE CALLED TO RENDER OUR STEWARDSHIP.
IN CONCLUSION: IF WE CONTINUE TO IGNORE THE CALL FOR UNITY AMONG OURSELVES AS ONE IN CHRIST, WE MUST REMEMBER THAT THERE ARE CONSEQUENCES FOR REBELLING AGAINST THE WILL OF GOD. CHRIST DID NOT DIE ON THE CROSS THAT WE MAY BE AT WAR WITH OURSELVES.
HE PRAYED THAT WE BE IN UNITY AMONG OURSELVES. (JOHN, 17:-18-22)
