YACHAD (UNITY) --- CONTINUE
What Is True Unity?
1 Corinthians 12:18-20: [YHVH made our bodies with many parts and He has put each part just where He wants it. What a strange thing a body would be if it had only one part! Yes, there are many parts, but only one body.] -- Romans 12:4-5: [Just as our bodies have many parts and each part has a special function, so it is with Moshiach’s Body. We are all parts of His One Body and each of us has different work to do. And since we are all One Body in Moshiach, we belong to each other and each of us needs all the others.] -- John 10:16: [I have other sheep too, that are not in this sheepfold. I must bring them also and they will listen to My voice; and there will be one flock with One Shepherd.] -- Galatians 3:28: [There is no longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male or female. For you are all Believers - you are one in Moshiach Yeshua.] Unity is not the same as uniformity. We are all different with unique gifts and personalities. But when we can celebrate and appreciate our differences to reach the common goal of serving our Adonai, that is true unity.
Why Is Unity Important?
Acts 2:42-43: [They joined with the other believers and devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, sharing in the Adonai’s Supper and in prayer. A deep sense of awe came over them all and the apostles performed many miraculous signs and wonders.] -- Romans 15:6: [Then all of you can join together with one voice, giving praise and glory to YHVH, the Father of our Adonai Yeshua Moshiach.] -- 1 Corinthians 1:10: [Now, dear brothers and sisters, I appeal to you by the authority of the Adonai Yeshua Moshiach to stop arguing among yourselves. Let there be real harmony so there won’t be divisions in the church. I plead with you to be of one mind, united in thought and purpose.] -- Psalm 133:1-3: [How wonderful it is, how pleasant, when brothers live together in harmony!] Unity brings a common sense of purpose and devotion.
In Addition To The Church, What Are Some Areas Of Our Lives In Which Unity Is Important?
Ephesians 5:31-33: [As the Scriptures say: A man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife and the two are united into one.] -- Genesis 13:8: [Then Abram talked it over with Lot. This arguing between our herdsmen has got to stop, he said. After all, we are close relatives!] -- 1 Samuel 18:1, 3: [After David had finished talking with Saul, he met Jonathan, the king’s son. There was an immediate bond of love between them and they became the best of friends... . And Jonathan made a special vow to be David’s friend.] Unity is not just for the church. We should have unity in our marriages, in our families and in our friendships.
How Do We Achieve Unity?
Romans 15:5: [May YHVH, who gives this patience and encouragement, help you live in complete harmony with each other - each with the attitude of Moshiach Yeshua toward the other.] We achieve unity through adopting a Christlike attitude.
Ephesians 4:11-13: [Their responsibility is to equip YHVH’s people to do His work and build up the church, the Body of Moshiach, until we come to such unity in our faith and knowledge of YHVH’s Son that we will be mature and full grown in the Adonai, measuring up to the full stature of Moshiach.] We achieve unity by exercising our YHVH-given gifts.
1 Peter 3:8: [Finally, all of you should be of one mind, full of sympathy toward each other, loving one another with tender hearts and humble minds.] We achieve unity by sympathy for each other.
Ephesians 4:2-3: [Be humble and gentle. Be patient with each other, making allowance for each other’s faults because of your love. Always keep yourselves united in Ruach HaKodesh and bind yourselves together with peace.] We achieve unity by humility and gentleness.
Colossians 3:13-14: [You must make allowance for each other’s faults and forgive the person who offends you... Love is what binds us all together in perfect harmony. We achieve unity by love and forgiveness for each other.
What Are Some Hindrances To Unity?
Ephesians 2:14: [Moshiach Himself has made peace between us Jews and you Gentiles by making us all one people. He has broken down the wall of hostility that used to separate us.] Racial, ethnic walls hinder unity.
1 Corinthians 1:10: [Now, dear brothers and sisters, I appeal to you by the authority of the Adonai Yeshua Moshiach to stop arguing among yourselves. Let there be real harmony so there won’t be divisions in the church. I plead with you to be of one mind, united in thought and purpose.] Walls of division and argument hinder unity.
Ephesians 4:25: [Put away all falsehood and 'tell your neighbour the truth' because we belong to each other.] Falsehood hinders unity.
With All The Diversity In Our Culture, How Is Unity Possible In Anything But A Very Small Group?
Ezekiel 37:17-23: [Now hold them together in your hand as one stick.] -- Romans 12:5: [Since we are all One Body in Moshiach, we belong to each other and each of us needs all the others.] -- John 10:16: [There will be one flock with One Shepherd.] -- Ephesians 4:4-6: [We are all one body, we have the same Spirit.] YHVH is the Creator of true unity. The presence of Ruach HaKodesh in the church will bring unity and peace.
Does Unity Mean Everyone Has To Agree?
1 Corinthians 12:14-20: [The body has many different parts, not just one part.... ] Unity is not synonymous with uniformity. YHVH has created us differently, which means there will be differences of opinion. But our common goal is the same - to serve YHVH.
Why Is Unity So Crucial For The Church?
Romans 15:5-6: [May YHVH... help you live in complete harmony with each other... Then all of you can join together with one voice, giving praise and glory to YHVH.] Unity creates a more beautiful worship experience.
If The Church Is To Be Unified, Why Are There So Many Different Denominations?
1 Corinthians 1:10-13: [Let there be real harmony so there won’t be divisions in the church. I plead with you to be... united in thought and purpose.] Although Scripture discourages divisions in the church, diversity can be positive if all are striving for a united purpose of serving and glorifying YHVH.
YACHAD (UNITY)
Yachad in Hebrew means Unity - Togetherness. Whether it be an orchestra transformed from cacophony to symphony by composer’s score and conductor’s baton or an army led by a general’s battle plan, unity is created by a sense of common purpose and competent leadership. The Bible extols unity as the highest form of believer relationship - from marriage to the church. Through Ruach HaKodesh, great diversity becomes dynamic unity.
How Does The Bible Describe The Unity That Should Exist Between Believers?
Believer Unity Is Based On Each Person's Connection With Moshiach
[Yes, I am the Bread of Life! Your ancestors ate manna in the wilderness, but they all died. However, the Bread from heaven gives eternal life to everyone who eats it. I am the Living Bread that came down out of heaven. Anyone who eats this Bread will live forever; this Bread is My Flesh, offered so the world may live.] -- John 6:48-51. How can Yeshua give us His flesh as bread to eat? To eat living bread means to accept Moshiach into our life and become united with Him. We are united with Moshiach in two ways:
1 -- by believing in His death [the sacrifice of His flesh] and resurrection and
2 -- by devoting ourself to living as He requires, depending on His teaching for guidance and trusting in Ruach HaKodesh for power.
Yeshua'S Great Desire For His Disciples Was That They Would Become One.
[Now I am departing the world; I am leaving them behind and coming to you. Holy Father, keep them and care for them - all those You have given Me - so that they will be united just as we are.] -- John 17:11. Yeshua wanted His followers to be unified as a powerful witness to the reality of YHVH’s love. Are you helping to unify the body of Moshiach, the church? You can pray for other believers, avoid gossip, build others up, work together in humility, give your time and money, exalt Moshiach and refuse to get sidetracked arguing over divisive matters.
Believers Are Not Intended To Live Out There Faith In Isolation.
Yeshua prayed for unity among the believers based on the believers’ unity with Him and the Father. Believers can know unity among themselves if they are living in union with YHVH. For example, each branch living in union with the vine is united with all other branches doing the same (see John 15:1-15).
In Moshiach, Unity Has Been Made Possible, But It Has Not Yet Been Fully Achieved.
If the Gentiles were enriched because the Jews turned down YHVH’s offer of salvation, think how much greater a blessing the world will share when the Jews finally accept it.] -- Romans 11:12. Paul had a vision of a church where all Jews and Gentiles would be united in their love of YHVH and in obedience to Moshiach. While respecting YHVH’s Law, this ideal church would look to Moshiach alone for salvation. A person’s ethnic background and social status would be irrelevant -- see Galatians 3:28) - what mattered would be faith in Moshiach. But Paul’s vision has not yet been realized. Many Jewish people rejected the gospel. They depended on their heritage for salvation and they did not have the heart of obedience that was so important to the Old Testament prophets and to Paul. Once Gentiles became dominant in many of the believer churches, they began rejecting Jews and even persecuting them. Unfortunately, this practice has recurred through the centuries.
The Love Commanded By Moshiach Should Create Deep Unity Among Believers.
[I pray that your love for each other will overflow more and more and that you will keep on growing in your knowledge and understanding.] -- Philippians 1:9. Have you ever longed to see a friend with whom you share fond memories? Paul had such a longing to see the believers at Philippi. His love and affection for them was based not merely on past experiences, but also on the unity that comes when believers draw upon Moshiach’s Love. All believers are part of YHVH’s family and thus share equally in the transforming Power of His Love. Do you feel a deep love for fellow believers, friends and strangers alike? Let Moshiach’s Love motivate you to love other Believers and to express that love in your actions toward them.
Unity Ought To Be A Distinctive Mark Among Believers.
[Is there any encouragement from belonging to Moshiach? Any comfort from His Love? Any fellowship together in the Spirit? Are your hearts tender and sympathetic? Then make me truly happy by agreeing wholeheartedly with each other, loving one another and working together with one heart and purpose.] -- Philippians 2:1-2. Many people -- even believers - live only to make a good impression on others or to please themselves. But selfishness brings discord. Paul therefore stressed spiritual unity, asking the Philippians to love one another and to be one in Spirit and purpose. When we work together, caring for the problems of others as if they were our problems, we demonstrate Moshiach’s example of putting others first and we experience unity. Don’t be so concerned about making a good impression or meeting your own needs that you strain relationships in YHVH’s family.
