God's Glory Church

Almost every successful company or group in history had something in common: they all had a unifying mission.

A mission statement is critical not only for aligning goals, but also for uniting a large group of people for a common goal.

As Christians, we all have one mission. We are united in following Christ. We are saved by His blood (Romans 5:9), and we are all called to make disciples in His name (Matthew 28:19).

And yet, even among Christians there is so much division and disunity.

In part, this is due to a lack of clarity and commitment to the mission as defined in Scripture. And to make matters worse, we are sinful human beings, and sin naturally causes division in our lives and relationships.

But the psalmist in Psalm 133:1 reflects on how good it is when God’s people live together in unity. There is something powerful that happens among Christians when we are united.

Unity does not mean that we forget our differences, because there would be no need to unite if we were all the same. No, unity is the combination of our differences and the desire to do much together for Jesus.

Together we can do much more for God’s Kingdom than we can alone. But for this we must strive for unity. Life is better when we work together.

Think about the people in your life who may be different from you. What steps can you take today to build a greater sense of oneness with those around you? Think about how you can glorify Jesus in your life through the relationships and communities you are in.
