“There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free,
nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.” (Galatians 3:28 NIV)
Has it
ever occurred to you that one hundred pianos all tuned to the same fork are
automatically tuned to each other? They
are of one accord by being tuned, not to each other, but to another standard to
which each one must individually bow.
So one
hundred worshippers meeting together, each one looking away to Christ, are in
heart nearer to each other than they could possibly be were they to become
'unity' conscious and turn their eyes away from God to strive for closer
fellowship.
Social
religion is perfected when private religion is purified. The body becomes
stronger as its members become healthier.
The whole church of God gains when the members that compose it begin to
seek a better and a higher life [in Christ].
