TEXT: We are laborers gether .with God.—1 Corinthians 3:9. to- Unity within the Church is GocJ’a plan and purpose, but that does not mean that some man-made plans lor unity are either scriptural or de­ sirable, There is much pressure be­ ing exerted now to unite the Church on the basis of a vast ecclesiastical* organization, quite apart from any doctrinal or spiritual unity. Such unity was not in our Lord’s mind. He wants spiritual unity, and in such fellowship the Church will find its only real bond of united life agd action. I. Unity in Spirit (John 17:20-23). Here we enter the veritable" holy. of holies of Scripture. Facing the time of His departure and death, the Lord prayed for those who believed, or would believe (v. 20) on Him. What was His grayer? That they should be one with the Father, with Him, and with one another. This' had to be accomplished while they remained in this wicked world (see John 17:13-10). How?. By the cleansing and sanctifying work of the' truth. The Word of God—the Bible—is the instrument used by the Holy Spirit in this work of sanctification. Small wonder that there is • little' holiness and spiritual unity when the Word. has so little opportunity to touch and to cleanse. Reader, do you Study God’s Wbrd? Such separation to God will result in real spiritual unity between those of all denominations and creeds. It is not some artificial thing to be put on from the outside. It comes from the heart of man and reaches out into his life and into the lives of oth­ ers. II. Unity in Action (Acts 15:22-27). Satan tried to thwart the mission­ ary efforts of the Church at the very outset by starting a doctrinal con­ troversy. ' • Although the first council at Jeru­ salem (Acts 11) had decided that "to the Gentiles also hath God granted repentance unto life,’ ’ the question did ,not stay settled, for there" were persistent Judaizing teachers who now contended that even though the Gentiles could be saved, they had to come into the church by way of Judaism and first fulfill the .Jewish rite of circumcision. < The story of how this vital and fun­ damental question came up is found in the early verses of Acts 15. The entire future of the gospel ministry was in a sense dependent on the so­ lution of this problem. Christianity is the only religious faith in the world that presents justification byf grace as the way of redemption; all others follow (more or less) the path of salvation by works. The question now was: Shall works of the law be mingled with grace? Can Jesus Christ alone save men, or is salvation through Jesus Christ plus something else? Hqw was such a serious question to be settled? Should argument and strife be permitted to go on until the stronger party prevailed? Bet­ ter judgment indicated the desira­ bility of a Christian method of set­ tlement. The final decision of the council is sent not only by Paul and Barnabas, but also by a committee from Jeru­ salem, a gracious gesture of fellow­ ship. ' •• As a matter of record (a wise pro­ cedure in such a case}, a letter was sent which, after addressing the Gentiles as "brethren,’ ’ ’ reviewed the history of the matter and then, , without mentioning circumcision at all, put upon, the Gentiles "no great­ er burden than the necessary things.” And what were those? Those things which relate to purity of life as those who were enjoying Christian liberty. The law of Moses need not be kept as a ground of sal­ vation. They were saved by grace. But grace can never be the cloak of careless living, nor can liberty in Christ be interpreted as license to live in sin. We 'are set free in Christ, not that we may sin, but that . we may "g o and sin no more.” III. Unity in Doctrine (Acts- 15; 28, 29). In non-essentials we should exer­ cise toward other believers the greatest love and consideration. Men have a right to differences of opin­ ion, and must fallow the dictates of their own consciences. Let us not be betrayed into controversy on such matters. ^ There are certain foundation doc­ trines which must be held if a church is to be Christian; concern­ ing these we stand together. There is a faith for which we are to ear­ nestly "contend” (Jude 3). We are neviar, even on the grounds of sup­ posed courtesy, to give aid and com­ fort to false teachers (II John 9-11). Kindly, tactfully, but definitely the Christian Church must stand true to its doctrinal convictions, standing united against an unbelieving world, and if need he, an unbelieving re­ ligious world.
