Unity means the fact or state of being one in agreement or in harmony as one Lord, one faith and one baptism, Ephesians 4:5. It’s all Gods Spirit in agreement with each action his Spirit performs or commands of us as we are born again by His word and Spirit, John 3:5. It’s all Gods Spirit manifested in three different forms for the purpose of his ministry. God can take on many different forms for us to hear him speak to us and bring us into that unity that is one.
The Bible teaches that there is only one God. (Isaiah 43:10, Isaiah 44:6-8, Isaiah 45:22, 1Peter 1:2)
The Bible teaches that there is one who is called Jesus and is identified as being God. (John 1:1-3; 14-18, John 20:28-29, 1 John 1:1-4; 5:20, Philippians 2:5-8, Revelation 1:17-18, Revelation 22:12-20)
The Bible teaches that there is one who is called the Holy Spirit and is identified as being God. (John 14:16-17, John 15:26, John 16:7-15, Acts 5:3-4, Acts 13:2, 1 Corinthians 12:4-18, Hebrews 9:14, Hebrews 10:15-18)
1Corinthians 1:9, 10 we know for a surety that God is trustworthy as we have fellowship with his son Jesus Christ and it is by grace measured out to each of us as a gift we can not earn as it is free to us through the love of God that makes us one in the unity of Gods Spirit. There should be no division among the brethren as we now have the mind of Christ through Gods Spirit that teaches us all things and brings us into all understanding, John 14:26.
The spoken word of God is our foundation of faith as it is the substance of things hope for, the evidence of things not seen, Hebrews 11:1. No one has ever seen God as he is Spirit, John 4:24, but it is that Spirit made flesh to dwell among us whom is his son Jesus Christ that even though we ourselves have never seen him physically, but know him through Gods word as his witness testifies of his glory, John 1:14, that we too can know him and have hope in that same glory as Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever.
To know Jesus as our personal Lord and Savior brings us into the unity of Gods Spirit that makes us one with Christ to know the mind of Christ and the purpose of his gifts as it is those gifts freely given for the work of his ministry for the equipping and building up of the body (us) of Christ. It is those gifts of apostles, prophets, evangelist, pastors and teachers that bring us into the unity of the faith and the knowledge of Jesus whose Spirit works in us and through us as we are called into his ministry and lead by the Holy Spirit.
