Dwelling Together in Unity!
By: Robert A. Searles
Our country is very sick, even perhaps the sickness unto death as a nation if we do not find a cure, and that very soon. Hatred and strife for one another because of differences of our race, creed or color, or personal convictions or opinions is destroying us as a united people under God. We know the cause of of the disease that we all have been infected with, it is the virus of a wicked sinful heart which we have inherited because of the sin and disobedience of one couple -Adam and Eve. The results of the first couple's disobedience was made manifest when Cain hated and killed his brother Abel. The evil attitude of jealously and hatred for one another has been embedded in the heart of all of us from the very beginning, and unless we accept and apply the cure for this spiritual disease of the heart, we will go on in our wicked ways and there will be no hope for our survival as an individual, as a family, as a church, or as a nation.
We know the cause of the spiritual corruption which inhabits us, - it is sin, but do we know and accept the prescription offered for the cure?
What is the cure?
The remedy for a sinful heart is a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the great physician, the healer of all our sickness, both physical and spiritual. Only as we have acknowledged and repented of our sin, and asked for and have received his forgiveness, and invite him to live in our heart through the indwelling Holy spirit , can we learn to live together with one another in unity and peace, and God will command his blessing upon us.
"Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!" Psalm 133:1
Philippians 1:27 - Only
let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that
whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your
affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving
together for the faith of the gospel;
Romans 12:16 - "Be
of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but
condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits."
Romans 15:5 - "Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be like minded one toward another according to Christ Jesus:"
Romans 14:19 -" Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another."
"(A Song of degrees of David.) Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments; As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore." Psalm 133
