Acts 4:32 (ESV Strong's)
Now the full number of those who believed were of one heart and soul, and no one said that any of the things that belonged to him was his own, but they had everything in common.
Subject: Christian Love - Church Love
The power of love in the Body of Christ could be the greatest example to an unsaved world of the grace of God. Imagine a church in today's society fashioned in the character of the above verse. The early church had "one heart and soul." Imagine the power of that example. Organization are always looking for synergy. They spend tons of money on team-building and team activities. They believe in the power of one. Sports teams are constantly focusing ego-centric athletes on the virtues of being a team. The power of one is so strong, God caused a language issue at the Tower of Babel to make sure their one mission, unifying goal would be dispersed (Genesis 10). The power of One is actually rooted in the character and majesty of the Godhead. God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit are ONE. Is it any surprising that God wants His church to, also, be one? God wants oneness in the Body of Christ. Let's give it to Him.
