Are you "ONE" or in "oneness with the body of Christ"?

Good morning my fellow Christians.  God is good all the time, all the time God is good.  TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!!!
    Do you just read the Bible?  Or, do you "study read" the Bible, looking for meaning to help you draw closer to God and to understand your purpose in His kingdom?
    Look at this scripture and take time to absorb, to meditate, and feel the word.
Ephesians 4:
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.

The oneness of all believers:
Body ----The fellowship of believers --the church
Spirit----The Holy Spirit, who activates the fellowship
Hope----That glorious future to which we are all called
Lord-----Christ, to whom we all belong
Faith-----Our singular commitment to Christ
Baptism--Baptism-the sign of entry into the church
God------God, who is our Father who keeps us for eternity

Many times we, as believers, are separated over minor differences in doctrine.  Why?  Paul tells us of these areas where we all must agree to walk in unity.  When believers have a unity of Spirit, small, insignificant and petty differences will not destroy that unity.
     Descenders will be able to pick apart different parts of these "7" items of unity.  Do not fall pray to breaking down what Paul said.  God is over all - "in all" and "living through all" shows He is active in the world and in our lives.
   If you disagree with verses 4, 5, or 6 then you disagree with God's word.  Let the world change begin with you and me.  Start today - a oneness in God.  Love you all.
   In Christ's Love and Grace
