PERSPECTIVES THAT PRESERVE UNITY
PERSPECTIVES THAT PRESERVE UNITY
Humility - not being arrogant, sense of one’s moral littleness.
Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves;
do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others.
Gentleness - mildness, not weakness rather being under control.
The scripture says that Jesus was meek and lowly in heart. However drove the money changers out of the temple.
Patience - Ability to take a great deal of punishment from evil people or circumstances without losing one’s temper, without becoming irritated and angry, or without taking vengeance. It includes the capacity to bear pain or trials without complaint, the ability to forbear under severe provocation, and the self-control which keeps one from acting rashly even though suffering opposition or adversity.

However being Patient or showing patience does not mean having no passion for the ministry.
Showing Tolerance - to bear or endure and what makes this possible is the virtue of Love.
I thank my God always concerning you for the grace of God which was given you in Christ Jesus,
Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant,
Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant,
does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered,
does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;
bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
1 Cor 1
1 Cor 13:4
1 Cor 13:
Being diligent - we have to endeavor or work at preserving the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
HAVING THESE ATTITUDES OR PERSPECTIVE ARE GOOD BUT WE ARE NOT TO COMPROMISE ON THE BASIS OF OUR UNITY.
THE FUNDAMENTAL BASE OF OUR UNITY
THE FUNDAMENTAL BASE OF OUR UNITY
THE POWER OF ONE IS WHAT WE WANT TO KEEP IN MIND, KNOW THAT THERE IS........
ONE BODY - This is in reference to the universal church or body of believers and Jesus Christ is the Head.
And He put all things in subjection under His feet, and gave Him as head over all things to the church,
which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.
No distinction between the Jew and the Greek.
Romans 12:4
For just as we have many members in one body and all the members do not have the same function,
so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.
Since there is one bread, we who are many are one body; for we all partake of the one bread.

ONE SPIRIT - This would be referring to the Holy Spirit of Promise
In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation—having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise,
who is given as a pledge of our inheritance, with a view to the redemption of God’s own possession, to the praise of His glory.
Jew and Gentile have access by
for through Him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.
eph 2:18
that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man,
from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name,
that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man,
ONE HOPE - the resurrection and glorification and life eternal
eph 3:16
eph 3:
And not only this, but also we ourselves, having the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our body.
For in hope we have been saved, but hope that is seen is not hope; for who hopes for what he already sees?
romans 8:23-
ONE LORD
For even if there are so-called gods whether in heaven or on earth, as indeed there are many gods and many lords,
yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom are all things and we exist for Him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we exist through Him.
ONE FAITH
Beloved, while I was making every effort to write you about our common salvation, I felt the necessity to write to you appealing that you contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all handed down to the saints.
Retain the standard of sound words which you have heard from me, in the faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.

ONE BAPTISM
It happened that while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul passed through the upper country and came to Ephesus, and found some disciples.
He said to them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” And they said to him, “No, we have not even heard whether there is a Holy Spirit.”
And he said, “Into what then were you baptized?” And they said, “Into John’s baptism.”

And he said, “Into what then were you baptized?” And they said, “Into John’s baptism.”
Paul said, “John baptized with the baptism of repentance, telling the people to believe in Him who was coming after him, that is, in Jesus.”
When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
ACTS 19:1-4
WHAT ABOUT THE PHYSICAL BAPTISM? GLAD YOU ASKED
ONE GOD AND FATHER
For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever. Amen.
Since there is one bread, we who are many are one body; for we all partake of the one bread.
ONE SPIRIT
For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all made to drink of one Spirit.
“But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you.
“Peace I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Do not let your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful.
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
1 John 4
ONE HOPE
For in hope we have been saved, but hope that is seen is not hope; for who hopes for what he already sees?
Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
But desire fulfilled is a tree of life.
