One

Hello everyone,

How are you doing on this day? I hope well and bubbling in the Lord.

Primary Text

“There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.” Ephesians 4v4-6 (KJV)

“[There is] one body and one Spirit—just as there is also one hope [that belongs] to the calling you received— [There is] one Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of [us] all, Who is above all [Sovereign over all], pervading all and [living] in [us] all.” Ephesians 4v4-6 (AMP)

We thank God for the Oneness that we have as believers:  one body – the body of Christ, the Church; one Spirit – the sweet precious Holy Spirit of God; one faith – our faith in God, in the finished work of Christ on the Cross; one baptism – into the body of Christ; and one God and Father of us all. Thank God for this. There is one body, and the head of the body is our Lord Jesus Christ. We are members of this body, and we are all important. 1 Corinthians 12v12-14 (TLB) says “Our bodies have many parts, but the many parts make up only one body when they are all put together. So it is with the “body” of Christ. Each of us is a part of the one body of Christ. Some of us are Jews, some are Gentiles, some are slaves, and some are free. But the Holy Spirit has fitted us all together into one body. We have been baptized into Christ’s body by the one Spirit, and have all been given that same Holy Spirit. Yes, the body has many parts, not just one part.” We thank God for this great body of Christ, spread all across the world, in different fellowships. We pray that we will be united as one in Jesus name, amen.

Prayer

Father, we thank You so much for this day that You have made, that we can rejoice and be glad in it. We thank You for the body of Christ, and making me a part of it. I pray that we will all fulfill our functions properly and well to the glory of Your name in Jesus name, amen.
