Are You Seeking Unity from Maturity?
“Till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ.”
EPHESIANS 4:13-15

Ponder This
The Church needs to be united. What do I mean by unity? I don’t mean unison. Unison may be all right if you’re in the choir, but everybody doesn’t need to sing the same note. That would be boring. We can sing in harmony without singing in unison. I’m also not talking about uniformity. We don’t have to be a congregation of clones. We don’t need to look alike and dress alike. Uniformity comes from without; unity comes from within.
What happens when we are unified? Peace comes with unity, diversity, and maturity. Little children squabble and fuss; mature adults learn how to get along with one another. Bickering comes from immaturity, and may God preserve this church from bickering. We’re to be mature.
Do you want to know whether you’re growing and pursuing unity or not? Don’t measure yourself by some other member of this church. Measure yourself by Jesus Christ.
- How do we mature in Christ? How is that a priority in your life?
- What are some ways you have understood or misunderstood unity in the Church?
Practice This
Pray for someone in your church you are having trouble being unified with.
