There is one body [of believers] and one Spirit — just as you were called to one hope when called [to salvation] — one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of us all who is [sovereign] over all and [working] through all and [living] in all.
Ephesians 4:4-6 AMP
How many Holy Spirits are there? There is only One.
When you were born again of the Spirit, what Spirit did you receive? The Holy Spirit.
But the one who joins himself to the Lord is one spirit with Him.
1 Corinthians 6:17 NASB2020
The Spirit is incorruptible. The Word of God is imperishable. We have the Lord. We inherit eternal life through Him.
You have purified your souls by obeying the truth in order to show sincere mutual love. So love one another earnestly from a pure heart.
You have been born anew, not from perishable but from imperishable seed, through the living and enduring word of God.
For all flesh is like grass and all its glory like the flower of the grass; the grass withers and the flower falls off, but the word of the Lord endures forever. And this is the word that was proclaimed to you.
1 Peter 1:22-25 NET
When our souls are united with God’s Spirit in obedience to the will of God, we are manifesting Christ.
When our souls are not aligned with the Spirit’s leading by our willful disobedience of God’s will, we are manifesting our old sin nature, the flesh.
When we forget that our sin nature has been crucified with Christ, we act like fools. However, the Spirit is the seal that we have been purchased by the blood of Jesus.
We’ve been crucified but we’re not dead yet. That is why we must pick up our crosses daily and crucify the deeds of the flesh.
Therefore, do not identify with your sin nature. It is going to perish. Your new nature is imperishable and incorruptible. Walk in Christ.
But you belong to God, my dear children. You have already won a victory over those people, because the Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who lives in the world.
1 John 4:4 NLT
There is only One Body of Christ. There is only one Holy Spirit. We are members of each other. We belong to each other. What you think separates you from others is perishable. What joins you with others is imperishable. We share one faith. It was a gift given to each of us to enjoy with all of us.
Nothing in the Kingdom belongs to the individual. Everything belongs to the King. We are not our own. Your old life is dead and buried in the waters of baptism. Your new life is in Christ.
Focus on the eternal truth of God’s Word and you will not fall victim to the devil’s schemes.
The enemy wants to divide us. But he is already defeated. All he can do is lie and deceive.
We have the Truth. And the living Word of God endures forever. Abide in Christ. Love one another.
Father in Heaven, give us a revelation of our Oneness in Christ so that we can love one another as One Body of believers. Let the lies that separate us be exposed as such and let them burn in the fires of purification. Sanctify Your Body. Sanctify Your Church. Amen.
Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God. Anyone who loves is a child of God and knows God. But anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love.
1 John 4:7-8 NLT
