Complete Unity

 (ID: 1309)

Christians sometimes splinter over trivial differences—but Jesus wanted His followers to be unified. Alistair Begg explains that Christian unity is not about denominations but about biblical truth. We should be unified by the Gospel, the message of truth that was delivered by the disciples and preserved for us in the Scriptures. Our unity should be visible, purposeful, and expressed outwardly for the world to see.


20“I do not rask for these only, but also for those swho will believe in me through their word, 21tthat they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that uthey also may be in vus, so that the world wmay believe that you have sent me. 22xThe glory that you have given me yI have given to them, tthat they may be one even as we are one, 23zI in them and you in me, athat they may become perfectly one, bso that the world may know that you sent me and cloved them even as dyou loved me.
