True biblical unity versus false unbiblical unity according to scripture
Posted : 17 May, 2023 07:58 PM

What is true biblical unity versus false unbiblical unity in the church according to 1 cor 1:10-17, eph 4:1-16, 2 cor 11:5-15, galatians 1:6-10 and phil 2:1-4.



True biblical unity is based upon scripture through repentance in faith in Jesus christ and forsaking all sin and false doctrine and living in holiness before Him. You don't have to be denominational or nondemonational to be a christian, faith in Jesus Christ is what saves you, not what label you are. False unbiblical unity causes divisions, compromises scripture and accepts all kinds of sin. Make sure that you stick to the simple gospel according to scripture and don't complicate and compromise it. Revelation 22:18-19 and Proverbs 30:5-6 illustrate this point, i pray this teaching will be a blessing and warning to you all in Jesus name.

Exactly‼️ Unity is not only a biblical idea and a goal, it’s a command‼️



Prayer of Jesus:

John 17:21

English Standard Version

21 that they may all be 👉👉one👈👈, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me.



John 4:24

New King James Version

24 God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in 👉👉spirit and truth👈👈.”



1 Corinthians 1:10

I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you 👉👉agree with one another👈👈 in what you say and that there be 👉no divisions👈 among you, but that you be perfectly 👉united in mind and thought👈.

The question is:

WHY isn’t there unity⁉️

By way of simple observation, here’s some ideas that prevent unity.

1. No one can have biblical unity without love for God and love of truth

2. Sin, rebellion and unbelief destroy biblical unity. Unity cannot coexist in a toxic environment characterized by sins like jealously and envy. (Read about Paul’s missionary experiences with jealous people).

3. Willful ignorance—stupid people will resist biblical unity (check out the many biblical examples especially Proverbs warnings against being willfully stupid)

4. Refusal to test one’s understanding or the refusal to test the biblical understanding of a teacher. (See Berean example)
