Unity
Unity in Christ is not something to be achieved: it is something to be recognized.
A. W. Tozer
Unity without the gospel is a worthless unity; it is the very unity of hell.
J. C. Ryle
The unity of the New Testament is a unity of faith.
R. C. Sproul
Indeed it is through chastity that we are gathered together and led back to the unity from which we were fragmented into multiplicity.
Augustine of Hippo
The call to be witnesses came as a culture shock. Jews were brought up to have ‘no dealings with Samaritans’ (John 4:9) and they avoided Gentiles in order to maintain ceremonial purity.1
