Beats From Your Pastor’s Heart
Ephesians 4:3, “Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.”
Our oneness is the oneness of the Spirit.
It is not a made-up oneness.
We do not need a movement for oneness.
We are not attempting to create oneness through conferences and revivals.
Oneness is not the cooperation of denominations; nor is it interdenominationalism.
That is not the oneness in the New Testament.
Oneness is God Himself entering into us.
We are one because He dwells in us!
We have the oneness of the Father and the Son installed into our spirit, and the best we can do is to see it and say, “I am one with all the saints.”
We see the oneness.
We cannot create it, produce it, or arrange it.
We can only keep it and arrive at it in a progressive and deeper way in our experience.
Nevertheless, this oneness has an outward expression.
Its expression is revealed in 1 Thessalonians 1:1: “Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the Thessalonians which is in God the Father and in the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ.”
The church identified as being in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ has a practical expression.
It meets in Thessalonica.
It is the church of the Thessalonians outwardly, but inwardly it is in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Thus, there is a practical expression of the oneness that we have in the Triune God.
To have the practical church life is how I can keep the oneness created by the Spirit.
This oneness is the very oneness of the Godhead flowing into me, making me a member of the Body of Christ where I live, with all the saints there expressing the oneness of the Triune God.
Until Tomorrow
With A Shepherd’s Love,
Pastor Jackson
