We are united in His love.
Love for the waiting people of the world,
People who need our Savior’s love.
Soon the heavens will open wide,
Christ will come to claim His bride,
All the universe will sing Hallelujah! Christ is King!
We have this hope this faith, and God’s great love,
We are united in Christ. (SDA Hymnal, #214) 2
Our Legacy
The Church brings together all kinds of people with various backgrounds. When members
focus on Jesus, unity and sisterhood/brotherhood is felt. Ellen White explains that the secret
of true unity, “The secret of true unity in the church and in the family is not diplomacy, not
management, not a super human effort to overcome difficulties –though there will be much of
this to do –but union with Christ. The closer we come to Christ, the nearer we shall to be one
another. God is glorified as His people unite in harmonious action” (Adventist Home, p179).
In God’s house all are equal. We are all children of the same God. To hate and dislike each
other is to hate or dislike the image of God in another person. Thus love and peace, harmony
and decorum, order and structure are values and ideals highly esteemed for the mission to
take place ensuring that we are remain united in the mandate –our core business. Enjoying
the fellowship of believers should go beyond mere attendance. Total involvement in the life
and mission of the church will help to unite the church.
“The church is the community of believers who confess Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. In
continuity with the people of God in Old Testament times, we are called out from the world;
and we join together for worship, for fellowship, for instruction in the Word, for the
celebration of the Lord’s Supper, for service to humanity, and for the worldwide proclamation
of the gospel. The church derives its authority from Christ, who is the incarnate Word revealed
in the Scriptures. The church is God’s family; adopted by Him as children, its members live on
the basis of the new covenant. The church is the body of Christ, a community of faith of which
Christ Himself is the Head. The church is the bride for whom Christ died that He might
sanctify and cleanse her. At His return in triumph, He will present her to Himself a glorious
church, the faithful of all the ages, the purchase of His blood, not having spot or wrinkle, but
holy and without blemish. Gen. 12:1-3; Exod. 19:3-7; Matt. 16:13-20; 18:18; 28:19, 20; Acts
2:38-42; 7:38; 1 Cor. 1:2; Eph. 1:22, 23; 2:19-22; 3:8-11; 5:23-27; Col. 1:17, 18; 1 Peter 2:9.” 3
