We Are More Alike Than Different

 

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.  There is still some discord between various Christian 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 are different denominations, but we all serve the same God, and we should act like it because we are more alike than different.  Our Christian unity enables us to better present the Gospel to the World.  

 

So, with one voice glorify God.  

 

Amen.
