DISCIPLESHIP TEACHING SERIES
Devotion to the oneness of the body of Christ (Part 1)
What does it mean for a human body to be one and not divided, and for a house to be united and not divided? 1cor.12:12-26; Mk.3:24-26.
If the human body is divided, what happens to the part that is cut off which become independent?
What happens to the remaining part? And a house divided against itself cannot stand (Mk.3:25).
And we are the temple of God. Christ has likened the church (in functioning) to the human body, and as such there will be no progress or peace if the members riot against one another. Devotion to the oneness of the body is the only rational thing to do if we truly seek the growth of the kingdom of God on earth.
Discuss the advantages of unity in the body of Christ in a locality and in general.
Gen.11:5-6; Matt.18:19; ps.133:1-3; Jn. 17:20-21.
What did you discover? What is your experience about this among the believers in your locality?
What a group of people are united, the Lord God says there is nothing they propose to do that will be withheld from them (even if that thing is really not in line with God’s will). That is the power of unity. When God’s people are united, God commands His blessings on them, their prayers are answered and their Christian witness in the community becomes effective. Unity of the body of Christ in any locality makes people around them to believe in Christ more easily. The reverse is the case when there disunity for whatever reason.
