One

by David Long

"Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all" (Eph. 4:3-6). Unity of the Spirit involves the one's listed here: one body or church (Eph. 1:22-23); one Holy Spirit; one hope (Titus 1:2; 3:7; Col. 1:5); one Lord Jesus Christ; one faith (Jude 3); one baptism (water baptism, immersion in water Acts 8:36-39; 10:47); one God and Father. These are ones that true unity is bases on.
