God Quote-Prayer for Unity

JOHN SHIRK – In the Year of God’s Word, this is what the Lord says in John 17:20 and 21.

After praying for His disciples, Jesus then prayed for believers in future generations with this request: “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.”

Unity in the body of Christ is possible through a relationship with God. This involves being moved by His love to live for His glory. This involves a humble spirit that is teachable to grow in the teachings of the Bible. This involves renouncing gossip, slander, and condescending attitudes.   This involves upholding grace and truth. As we are aligned with Jesus, we are better prepared to share God’s love in a way that builds unity in the Church. This is a testimony to people everywhere that God was moved by love for us to send Jesus into the world.

John 17:20 and 21-that’s today’s God Quote for us to embrace for Life.
