Disunity is a result of sin in our hearts. God's plan is to unite all things under Christ. Unity is one of the effects of the gospel when we are made alive in Christ. When we were without Christ, we were separated from God and without real hope. As we remember what we were, we should remember that we were made alive and reconciled to God by the blood of Christ. At the same time, we are made one new man in Him - there is neither Jew nor Gentile in Christ, The blood of Christ brings down the wall of separation between men, giving real fellowship. There are no longer strangers or aliens in the family of God. We are to consider the needs of our brothers and sisters and to remember our witness before the watching world. How blessed is the fellowship that binds believers together in Christ - a foretaste of heaven!
