Unity
Bible study on unity.

Jn. 17:11, 20-21

Jesus prayed for unity.

Eph. 4:3-6

We must be unified in the one body; there is one Spirit, one hope of calling, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father.

2 Th. 2:14

We are called by the gospel; therefore, the one hope of our calling (cf. Eph. 4:4) is revealed in the Bible.

1 Cor. 1:10

We must speak the same thing, be of the same mind, not be divided (cf. 2 Cor. 13:11; Phil. 2:2).

1 Cor. 12:23-25

We must consider each member of the body equal, so that there is no schism (i.e., tearing) of the body (cf. Rom. 12:10, 16; 2 Cor. 13:11; Phil. 2:2).

Rom. 12:16

We must be of the same mind toward each other.

1 Cor. 11:18-19

We cannot compromise the truth for the sake of humanistic unity.

1 Cor. 1:10-13; 3:1-4; Ju. 19

Divisions are created by wearing human names. Divisions are a result of carnality.

Since wearing different names is a result of carnality, wearing different names is sinful.

1 Cor. 5:1-13

We cannot keep company with other Christians who do not repent of their sins.

2 Th. 3:6, 14

We must withdraw from other Christians who walk disorderly.

Tit. 3:9-11

We must reject a divisive man after the first and second admonition.

1 Tim. 6:3-5

We must withdraw from anyone teaching a false doctrine.

We can teach no other doctrine but the doctrine of Jesus Christ (1 Tim. 1:3; 2 Jn. 1:9; cf. Gal. 1:6-9).
