These are the things that unite Christians. It's important to agree on the real fundamentals.Can two walk together except they be agreed? Amos 3:3
How is it that Christians have stayed unified in their beliefs for over 2000 years in spite of widely different interpretations of various scriptures and doctrines?
It's because they agree on the main things.
In a book composed of 66 individual books, written through many authors and over hundreds of years, it’s not surprising that there are differences of opinion.
But the Bible is clear that there are 7 things that create unity. In Ephesians 4:4-6 you can find these seven main points of agreement.
4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as also you were called in one hope of your calling; 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all.
When you are ready to move forward in your spiritual growth, getting clear on these key issues is a great place to start.
P.S. Isn't it interesting and amazing how Christianity has spread all over the world? And for 2,000 years, people have maintained and developed their faith across so many varied cultures, societies and centuries! It's thrived despite millions of different interpretations of various scriptures because of the power of the unifying central beliefs. Have you ever thought about that?
