God always unites and the devil always divides.
God always unites and the devil always divides. It should be easy to find our way around in this confused and confusing world but sin has brought confusion. Christians are divided on doctrine issues (teaching issues). This have been going on since the New Testament days (Read First Corinthians 9:11-17). Doctrines (teachings) that impacted many Christian lives and they are using doctrines more than they are using Holy Spirit to guide their Christian walk. Many doctrines are closely connected to legalism. Don't get me wrong, doctrines are important and Christians might argue for those issues. But, how far? What shall we unite with and from what shall we separate? Truth is, the Holy Spirit that can grasp our inner being only when we submit completely which will allow the Holy Spirit teach us, lead us mysterious and divine where we ought to go. "Teach me your way, O LORD, and I will walk in your truth; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name." — Psalm 86:11. The Holy Spirit that leads my thoughts and shapes my character. Our true moral and spiritual state is revealed by the Spirit through prayer and studying the Word. Eternally, we are "positional members" in the universal church of Jesus Christ, based solely on His merit and grace. If we are a Christ-follower, then we are already a member. This is eternal and unchanging (I Corinthians 12:12-13; Ephesians 2:13-22; 4:3-6; Colossians 1:13-22). Everyone who is saved is a member of God's Kingdom. Christianity today is so entangled with "reasonings". Through the Word of God and prayer, Holy Spirit will communicate to us at the deepest levels of our hearts. There is head knowledge and a heart knowledge, in knowing God (not just about Him) the heart must be involved with the head. God has sent us the Holy Spirit (John 16:12-15). If we humble ourself to God, the Holy Spirit will reveal Jesus in us and teach us with revelations of spiritual truth (Matthew 11:25-27) from the Word of God (Bible). Our faith of actions should be our relationship with our Lord, our daily life, our worship reflect our concept of God.
