How can we Contribute to the Unity of the church?

 

Ever wondered why churches always focus on unity? Well, the answer is very simple, if you can’t be united at one bigger perspective, there is no point in all the operations happening at your church. The important aspect of church unity is that you believe in the power of God and you have faith in Him.

Unity does not mean you have to agree upon everything. It also doesn’t mean that you have to accept everything that comes your way. Unity means you are all one strong community even if you have a difference in opinion on faith and God.

It is important that each of you play a vital role in contributing towards unity but how can you do that?

Difference of Opinion

 

Thousands of people are there in a church community. It is obvious that each one of us will have a different perspective and approach when it comes to the message of Jesus. The important thing is to accept the difference of opinion. Not everyone thinks as you do, not everyone is on the same level of faith as you are so give them space and learn to accept the difference of opinion.

Remember Why You Joined The Church

When you start having odd thoughts, you have to remind yourself why you started the church in the first place. Is it connecting to God or the concept that everything comes to the line when you visit it? What is it? Figure it out and then it will become to stay united no matter what life brings at you.
