The Unity Of The Spirit And The Bond of Peace In The Body Of Christ

Are you disrupting the unity of the Spirit and the bond of peace in the body of Christ ?

Ephesians 4:3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

Ephesians 4:4-6

NASB

4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you also were called in one hope of your calling; 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all.

Yet one need only to look at their social media feed to see that those speaking about Jesus have anything but unity.

social media 10k to 100m instructors in Christ

confusion deception nasty discussions

If there is any disagreement on any NON SAVING DOCTRINE in scripture, you will see some posting about Jesus and the bible instantly fly off in a fit of rage condemning others to hell over issues that do not save souls.

I have found the problem is people do not understand the new creature and the difference between the old , and in turn get lost on the way of cain

its easy to get back on the way of God through trust alone in Jesus finished work !

The key to this is hidden in all books of the bible is their are only 2 ways

two ways

God's. way

sa tan way of cain

God way = eternal life

sa tan way = hell pain no comfort ever

I do agree there obviously exists biblically a line in the sand that separates the lost versus the saved.

this line is simple

God's way = simple

sa tan way of cain = impossible = slave mental and physical

God's way = freedom

Trust only Jesus finished work Gods way to get you to paradise forever

The message that has the power to save is the gospel.

Romans 1:16 KJV

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

The Lord Jesus Christ Himself personally converted the Apostle Paul and sent him to the gentiles with the gospel for the body of Christ new creature ( I am now one eternally and so are all saved brothers and sisters in Christ )

God made us through Jesus for all that only trust in God / Jesus

forgiven sins past present future

eternal life

God declares you righteous forever

that cannot change

no created creature can change this fact

God is only creator

Jesus only way back to Father in heaven / paradise

Acts 26:16-18 KJV

But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee;  Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee,  To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.

The Apostle Paul said this is the gospel he taught:

1 Corinthians 15:1-4

2 Corinthians 5:

In many places in Paul's epistles he made it clear that this is the only gospel and that SALVATION is by grace through faith and NOT BY ANY WORKS of man.

Ephesians 2:8-9

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Romans 4:5

But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.

Galatians 1:8-9

But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

REMEMBER in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 Paul told us exactly and specifically which gospel he preached

There should be striving for unity in matters of NON SAVING bocnc doctrine but be clear you should not be condemning or acting with anything but meekness and kindness when teaching the saved saints who believe/trust the simple gospel that saves non saving doctrine :

Believe/Trust in the death burial and resurrection of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for salvation, apart from any works added to be saved. Other topics are important but not a salvation issue.

Those that add human works as requirement to the gospel are lost and should be preached to as lost.

Those that do not add works to the gospel that saves should be instructed and corrected gently and in love as a brother / sister in Christ and NOT threatened because they do not agree with you on non-saving doctrines (grace covers this sin also, does it not?).

Study all of Romans 14

Romans 14:5 One person [e]values one day over another, another [f]values every day the same. Each person must be fully convinced in his own mind.

Ephesians 4:4-6

NASB

4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you also were called in one hope of your calling; 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all.

With that in mind ask yourself: are you endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace ?

Grace and peace ! For more info:

God's Gospel Of Love For His Creation

To be saved:  You not ONLY have to believe in who Jesus is and was and always will be, God became man, you ALSO have to believe and trust only in Jesus’ death burial and resurrection for the forgiveness of sins, and God’s free gift of eternal life, and to be declared righteous forever in God's eyes. Believe and trust the simple gospel that saves - 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 & 2 Corinthians 5:1-20. Trust ONLY in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus for your salvation, to be declared righteous by God forever ! Any trust in your own human works and efforts , whether it be moral or religious has zero power to save you.

After you are saved: - Romans 12:2  - To grow in God's grace and learn about your exciting new creature identity and future then renew your mind daily with body of Christ creature  doctrine (Romans through Philemon), including praying through the simple gospel that saves every day (see my personal example below) in your own words.   New creature / BOC doctrine,  is the instruction that Jesus gave the Apostle Paul for the body of Christ creature found in Romans through Philemon.  This is how God forms Christ in the inner mind of body of Christ new creature members. This is body of Christ creature doctrine only.  

Earn rewards in heaven now: -  by applying sound doctrine written to the body of Christ new creature (Romans through Philemon) in your inner man , the Holy Spirit will use the body of Christ creature doctrine to teach you it so Christ be formed in you during the body of Christ new creature dispensation and then you image that love back to others, not taking glory for it before man and or in your own mind !  God gets this glory by you believing that is exactly what you are doing when you love people , imaging Christ !  Because you now understand God's love and forgiveness is forever. Once you trust only in Christ for righteousness you have it and sin can no longer separate you from God. It is that simple !!!. - 1 Corinthians 3:12-15 , Hebrews 11:1-6 

The Simple Gospel That Saves throughout all history:

Do you acknowledge your sin has separated you from God/Jesus ( OT did not know exactly who Messiah was and BOC creature did , Jesus = God, Jesus = fullness of God became man, Jesus, finished work (DBR), and renounce any attempt to fix your sin problem and be declared righteous by God by your own good works, moral or religion, or thinking you are too good to go to hell because of your moral and religious works, and trust only in Jesus ( God became man)  finished work, which is His death burial and resurrection,  for forgiveness of sins ,  eternal life and Jesus righteousness imputed to your account so God declares you righteous forever and sin can never separate you from God again?  yes or no ?

Lastly if you ask why this has not been taught as being this simple by mainstream church I anity =  ALL MANS religions/denominations/churches in buildings…….. when it is right in the Bible….well here is why :

2 Corinthians 4:3-4

And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled [a]to those who are perishing, 4 in whose case the god of this [b]world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that [c]they will not see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.

2 Corinthians 11:13-15

13 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. 14 No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. 15 Therefore it is not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their deeds.

This is also why the book of Acts is a story of the transition from the Old creature - Israel's program to the New creature the body of Christ.   I believe both Peter and Paul were charged with making sure this transition went smoothly and Peter was not supposed to understand body of Christ creature doctrine all together.  Paul obvi knew Israel creature doctrine and BOC creature doctrine. 

"Creature" is one of several keys 

The key to learning your direct instruction in the bible 

is

creature

2 Timothy 2:15

however we can learn things of God's way versus the way of cain In all books of the bible, some in plain view in His word, and many hidden in His word.

2 Timothy 3:16-17 

Hebrews 11:1-6 

11 Now faith is the certainty of things [a]hoped for, a [b]proof of things not seen. 2 For by it the people of old [c]gained approval.

3 By faith we understand that the [d]world has been created by the word of God so that what is seen has not been made out of things that are visible. 4 By faith Abel offered to God a better sacrifice than Cain, through which he was attested to be righteous, God testifying [e]about his gifts, and through [f]faith, though he is dead, he still speaks. 5 By faith Enoch was taken up so that he would not see death; and he was not found because God took him up; for before he was taken up, he was attested to have been pleasing to God. 6 And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for the one who comes to God must believe that He exists, and that He proves to be One who rewards those who seek Him. 7 By faith Noah, being warned by God about things not yet seen, [g]in reverence prepared an ark for the salvation of his household, by which he condemned the world, and became an heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.

To God our Father and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ be ALL glory both now and forevermore !!! 

Grace and peace !!!
