Wholehearted agreement is hard. We are all created with a unique purpose on this earth, but we were all meant to link those purposes together to accomplish the same main commission to go into the world and spread the Gospel. When Jesus was leaving His disciples, He assured them He would never leave them or forsake them. He sent His Holy Spirit to strengthen them beyond what is humanly capable on this earth.

Today, when we place our lives in the hands of our Savior Jesus, He promises never to leave or forsake us, either. He sends His Holy Spirit to dwell in us, and strengthen us beyond what is humanly impossible to achieve – including but not limited to wholehearted agreement. He empowers us to love each other and work together with one mind and purpose.

Unity.

Unity is oneness.

We are called to live in unity.

These Scriptures we have studied here today help remind us of what we are capable of on this earth, through the power of God in us through the Holy Spirit by Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross. We can link the puzzle pieces together. It is possible.
