Episode notes
Prioritize Scripture Over Feelings For Unity
- Base unity on Scripture and truth rather than feelings or a vague goodwill.
- Begg warns against deciding unity by 'what I feel' and urges continual return to the Bible for clarity.
Ephesians Defines The Concrete Marks Of Unity
- Paul’s Ephesians list shows unity is one body, one Spirit, one hope, one Lord, one faith, one baptism.
- Begg ties each element to the gospel work of the Spirit bringing diverse people into a single church.
Unity Is Organic Not Organizational
- Christian unity is organic and analogically likened to the Father-Son union, not merely organizational cooperation.
- Begg stresses the ontological difference but uses the Trinity's union as the model for believers' unity.
Jesus prayed that His disciples “may all be one” just like He and the Father are one. Examine the purpose and uniqueness of Christian unity, and learn why it’s based on the truth we know, not on the way we feel. Listen to Truth For Life with Alistair Begg.
