The Importance Of Christian Unity Series

Contributed by Rich Anderson on Feb 16, 2011

All true believers have God’s glory within, no matter what they may look like on the outside. Christian unity is not based on the external, but the internal. The very Spirit of God within us.

If Christians cannot be unified, then we are not approaching one another in love. And we cannot be a good witness for Christ if we are bickering with one ...read more
