INTRODUCTION
; ; ; ; ;
Unity, peace and love are absolutely essential in the Church because the church is the “body of Christ” (), and a body cannot be in disunity or disharmony with itself.
If disunity occurs, it essentially ceases to be a body and becomes a disjointed group of individuals.
The secret to unity begins with how we view ourselves within the body and how we view others.
The key verse that addresses this is : “Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves.”
All disunity in a church can be traced back to the simple truth that too often we act selfishly and consider ourselves better than others.
1. THE MASTER’S UNFEIGNED AND URGENT PLEA FOR UNITY AND LOVE AMONG BELIEVERS
; ; ; ;
Jesus spoke to the Father about His disciples’ unity.
He spoke directly to His disciples and continues to speak till today through the Holy Spirit to believers about unity love and peace.
Having been given the word of God; and have been sanctified by the truth; and having received the gifts of the Holy Spirit, Jesus prays that all His disciples, and we who believed later, should be one.
Why is this oneness of believers so important?
(i) Oneness of believers portrays the relationship and the unity between the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
(ii) Oneness of believers will convince the world that God the Father has sent Jesus the Son to be their Redeemer.
(iii) Oneness of believers underscores the fact that though we are in the world, we are not of the world.
(iv) Oneness of believers will convince the world that we belong to a different Kingdom which operates with different principles.
(v) Oneness of believers reflects the unequivocal, unambiguous, indisputable, unmistakable and clear declaration of Scriptures that God, according to His own purpose, has joined us together in one body of Christ, the Church.
We have no choice but to be one, for that is the will of God concerning every member of the Church ().

Believers are one!
“Planted together in the likeness of His death” ().
“Quickened…and raised up together” ().“Made us Sit together in heavenly places” ().“If we suffer with Him . . . .
glorified together” ().
“Builded together.….habitation of God” ().
“Fitly framed together” ().

“How can two walk together except they are agreed ()?” “Perfectly joined together in the same mind” ().
“Knit together in love” ().
“Striving together for the faith of the Gospel” ().
“Comfort yourselves together” ().

We must walk worthy or live worthy of our calling.
In the book of , we see many of the qualities that promote unity among us.
(1) Walking in lowliness
(2) Walking in meekness
(3) Walking with longsuffering
(4) Walking with forbearance
(5) Walking in love
(6) Speaking the truth in love
(7) Walking in forgiveness
If we wholeheartedly commit ourselves to live by these qualities, we will definitely live together in unity, in love, in forgiveness and in peace, to the glory of God.
This is called walking worthy of our calling!
Pride is not our calling.
If you are proud, and see yourself as better than your brethren, then you are not walking worthy of your calling ().
If you are impatient and cannot bear and forbear the mistakes of others, then you are not walking worthy of your calling.
If you are selective in your love - you only love those who are tribally or ethnically related to you, or only those who love you back, you are walking just like other human beings walk.
You are not walking worthy of your calling (; ).
There see that you walk circumspectly, redeeming the time for the days are evil!

When the Church/a congregation of believers is united, Christ is glorified; Miracles and signs and wonders are multiplied.
When the Church is united, more souls will be saved, for they will hear for the voice of the Spirit and the testimony of living saints in that congregation.
The peace of God that passes all understanding will guard that Church.
The gifts of the Holy Spirit will manifest for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, and for the edification of the body of Christ.
All pastors, all leaders and all members must unite together to work to achieve this noble goal of Christ in the Church.
