Paul reminds us that it is the Lord who prepares our hearts to respond to the gospel with
saving faith. Let’s look at two Bible texts:
Who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works,
but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ
Jesus before time began. (2 Timothy 1:9)
Now a certain woman named Lydia heard us. She was a seller of purple from
the city of Thyatira, who worshiped God. The Lord opened her heart to heed the
things spoken by Paul. (Acts 16:14)
To uphold unity in faith we must understand its importance. We must practice the qualities
that preserve it. We must put out effort to protect and preserve it—it was so important for
Christ that he died to make it possible for us to have it! All true believers receive the salvation
that Christ offers by grace alone through faith alone. There is nothing we have to do except
accept the free gift that is offered—the gift of love. If you know that you are loved, you can also
love yourself and are free to grow and develop as the person you really are. If you know that
you are loved, you are also free to love others unconditionally, just as God loves them
unconditionally. In our daily walk of faith, we grow and mature as a Christian and in our love
for one another, and we will also experience the unity of the faith. Paul talks about it in
Ephesians 4:13 (emphasis added): “Till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the
knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of
Christ.” It grows stronger as we grow in faith. This is the unity that we will attain in full when
we see Jesus, the hope of our salvation.
That’s why as Christians we sing, “We Have This Hope”
We have this hope that burns within our heart,
Hope in the coming of the Lord.
We have this faith that Christ alone imparts,
Faith in the promise of His Word.
We believe the time is here, When the nations far and near
Shall awake, and shout and sing
Hallelujah! Christ is King!
We have this hope that burns within our heart,
Hope in the coming of the Lord.
We are united in Jesus Christ our Lord.
