Now may the God who gives perseverance and encouragement grant you to be of the same mind with one another according to Christ Jesus, so that with one accord you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, accept one another, just as Christ also accepted us to the glory of God.
Romans 15:5-8
The Apostle Paul wanted Christians to present a united front against those who opposed the church. Christianity still faces problems with discord between the various denominations because they do not agree on the same interpretation of all the scriptures. While we may not all understand the scriptures in the same way, we all share the common confession of Jesus Christ, Lord Master and Savior.
We may be different denominations, but we all serve the same God, and we should act like it and act like we are more alike than different, if for no other reason than to better present the Gospel to the world.
Now smile at your brothers and sisters in the Lord.
