1. EXAMPLES OF UNITY
A. FAMILY - Unity in Fellowship.
"Now therefore ye are...of the household of God"
Eph. 2:19-22 Unity of fellowship is experienced when the
family submit to God-given authorities.
B. TEMPLE - Unity in Glory.
"Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a
spiritual house" 1 Peter 2:5
"In whom the building fitly framed together groweth
into a holy temple" Eph. 2:20-22
God is fashioning, building and fitting together a
temple to fill with His glory. "A habitation of God"
Eph. 2:22.
C. WIFE - Unity in Love.
"...a man...shall be joined unto his wife, and they
two shall be one flesh, this is a great mystery: but I
speak concerning Christ and the church" Eph. 5:31,32.
Being joined in marriage is the highest expression
of unity in love.
D. CITY - Unity in Function.
"He looked for a city which hath foundations, whose
builder and maker is God" Heb. 11:10-16. Known for its
elevated position, its strong foundations, its
impregnable walls and its towers for protection, here
the inhabitants are united in vision, in strength, and
have unity of purpose and function. Heb. 12:22;
Ps. 48:2,12.
E. BODY - Unity in Life.
"For as the body is one, and hath many members,
and all members of that one body, being many, are one
body, so also is Christ" 1 Cor. 12:12-22
Each member of the body is necessary, and each has its
own function, yet each is at liberty to function in its
own unique way.
NOTE: Liberty, NOT Independence. The body is
IN/TER/DEPENDENT. Members functioning in life, bringing
unity into life.
F. ARMY - Unity in Vision and Purpose.
"And the breath came into them, and they lived, and
stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army"
Ezek. 37:10.
An army is never aimless, but is disciplined,
prepared and has unity of vision and purpose.
