- God gives 3 things: endurance, encouragement, and spirit of unity.
- First thing that happens is that scripture teaches. A Christian learns requirements, etc., but Scripture doesn’t stop there.
- The encouragement of Scripture gives hope as we endure (in requirements).
- Thus, endurance is given (also vs. 5), believe through Scripture.
- The same foundation is there for “spirit of unity.” “As you follow (the) Christ Jesus” of the Scripture
- The main cause of disunity is disregard for Scripture.
- Set aside commands for tradition (sneaky). Mark 7:9
- Ignorance – Matthew 22:29
- Outright disbelief – 2 Timothy 4:3
- Conclusion – A high practical regard for Scripture will result in unity, “so that with one heart and mouth you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
