109 Bible Verses about Church Unity

Think about humility, gentleness, patience, and living together in harmony. These are so important for us as believers. We're all connected in Christ, part of the same spiritual body. It's a powerful image, isn't it?

Ephesians 2:15-16¹ talks about how Christ broke down the walls between us, creating peace and bringing us together as one. He abolished the law of commandments expressed in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man from the two, thus making peace, and might reconcile both to God in one body through the cross, thereby killing the hostility. It's a reminder that our unity comes from Him.

And remember Jesus's prayer in John 17:21-22², just before he went to the cross? He prayed for us, that we would all be one, just as he and the Father are one. He longed for that unity, for us to reflect that incredible bond to the world. It's a pretty amazing thing to be part of.
