When God graciously brings us into union with Himself, He also brings us into union with one another. This unity of Christ’s body, the church, is much more familiar to us as a concept than it is an experienced reality. How can that change? “Always be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other's faults because of your love. Make every effort to keep yourselves united in the Spirit...” Ephesians 4:2-3 (NLT) Experiential unity requires the humility to admit we truly need others, and forbearance as we move in the direction of others’ needs.
