One Body, Many Members

Sermon Text: Romans 12:1-13

We are baptized by the Spirit into one body, the Body of Christ. Paul tells us that the one body is comprised of many members. Why then do so many Christians run around independent of the rest of the Church? Why does division reign in so many local churches?

There are many examples where Paul exhorts us to be unified. This is just an echo of Jesus charging His disciples to love one another, so that the world would know that they are His disciples. We are to be of one mind, and that should be the mind of Christ.

Is there room for differences in the church? It depends on where those differences are and the effect that they have on the Gospel. There are some issues where differences can be ok. There are areas however we differences cannot be tolerated for to do so would change our understanding of God and His plan of salvation.
