(II)

How we can maintain unity in the Church of Jesus Christ?

We understand:

One Faith (trust),

One Body ^{(One Church)},

One Head (Jesus),

One Power (Holy Spirit)

One Father (Creator heaven and earth), who is above all, and through all, and in you all. And every one of us is given Grace through of Christ Jesus.

*Ephesians 4:4-7

*1 Corinthians 12:5-31

(I)

How can we  maintain unity in the Church of Jesus Christ?

Remember:

JESUS commands us live like brothers and sisters; also said,

Behold  my mother and my brethren!

For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.

*Matthew 12:49-50

(V), Why Christians depart from of the church, and they stop congregating?

Do nothing out of rivalry or vanity; but, in humility, regard each other as better than yourselves — look out for each other’s interests and not just for your own.

Why  Christians  departs from of the Church, and they stop congregating?

backbiting, gossip?

Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.

There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?

James 4:11-12

(III)

Why  Christians  departs from of the Church, and they stop congregating?

JESUS said,

“Do not judge, so that you will not be judged. For by what judgment you judge, you will be judged, and by what measure you measure out, it will be measured out to you. And why do you see the speck that is in your brother’s eye, but do not notice the beam of wood in your own eye? Or how will you say to your brother, ‘Allow me to remove the speck from your eye,’ and behold, the beam of wood is in your own eye?

 Hypocrite! First remove the beam of wood from your own eye and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye!

Matthew 7:1-5

(II)

Why  Christians  departs from of the Church, and they stop congregating?

JESUS said,

!Woe to you also, legal experts, because you load people with burdens hard to bear, and you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers!

Luke 11:46
