New Year Joy: the joy of unity

New Year Joy: the joy of unity by ric gustafson


The Apostle Paul reminded the Philippian Christians to be like minded and of one mind. He reminds us to stand fast in one spirit and one mind. When we unite in Christ, we experience Christ's life. Jesus's life consisted of helping and encouraging others. When we unite in Christ, we become an example of Christ's love. When we unite in Christ, we want to spend time with fellow believers. Lastly, to unite in Christ is an expression of Christ's compassion.
For Christian unity, we need to be in harmony and one in mind. We need to have humility and not to have a selfish spirit. Lastly, we need to help others and have a spirit of humble mindedness.
The role model for Christian unity is Jesus Christ.
