Unity

Unity

Christian unity incorporated into One
Seven units all united into Christ the Son.

One Body, well composed of all who have believed
One Spirit, in the heart of all who have received

One Hope, centered on His great redemption plan
One Lord, Jesus Christ, who died for every man

One Faith, the same delivered to the saints of yore
One Baptism, into Christ, saved forevermore

One God and Father of all we who have returned
One Salvation to all men, which we could not have earned.

Ephesians 4:4 one body. The doctrine of Christian unity, including both doctrinal and spiritual unity, incorporates seven units:

• one body, composed of all the individual members that make up a body, as stressed by Paul (I Corinthians 12:12);
• one Spirit who indwells each believer and has baptized them into that body (I Corinthians 12:13);
• one hope, centered on Christ’s return to complete His work of redemption (Ephesians 1:14; Titus 2:13);
• one Lord, Jesus Christ, who has purchased each believer with His own blood (Ephesians 1:7; I Peter 1:18-19);
• one faith, that body of truth which has been “once [for all] delivered unto the saints” (Jude 3);
• one baptism, by which we have all been identified with and united with Christ; and
• one God and Father of us all.
