Thematic Studies In Bible Basics

Lesson 3 Ù True Unity In Christ Easy observation to make…there is an absence of “religious unity” Many churches teach opposing doctrines “Searchers for truth” are frustrated, hindered The only solution is to be what God wants Only then can unity & fellowship occur cp. 1 Jn 1:1-3

Thematic Studies In Bible Basics Lesson 3 Ù True Unity In Christ Recognizing a failed approach… Some saints want to convert family, friends These “converts-to-be” are involved in human denominations Therefore, some conclude we must learn all about these man-made religions so that we can teach our loved ones out of all that error

Thematic Studies In Bible Basics Lesson 3 Ù True Unity In Christ The right approach… Yes, we need to convert lost souls Mt 28:18 Instead of taking the time to study religious error, wouldn’t it be a better use of time to study truth? Once one knows truth, he can spot error…he’ll be able to teach those caught up in error

Thematic Studies In Bible Basics Lesson 3 Ù True Unity In Christ The Lord’s church exists in the midst of much religious error The situation in the 1st century when Jesus founded His church Still the situation today 2,000+ years later All these man-made churches hinder true unity

Thematic Studies In Bible Basics Lesson 3 Ù True Unity In Christ The church of Christ Founder: Jesus Christ Mt 16:18 When: A.D. 30 in Jerusalem (Pentecost) Followers: named “Christians” Acts 11:26 “To give a command or admonition; to teach from heaven; to be divinely commanded; to receive a name; be called” Mt 2:12, 22 Rom 7:3 Heb 11:7

Thematic Studies In Bible Basics Lesson 3 Ù True Unity In Christ The church of Christ The name “Christian” was not bestowed until after Acts 10…when Gentiles were included Such illustrates the wisdom of God No doubt, the Jews would have perverted this new identity cp. Acts 15:1

Thematic Studies In Bible Basics Lesson 3 Ù True Unity In Christ The church of Christ The name of Christ is meaningful because it is the only name whereby man can gain his salvation Acts 4:12 Therefore, the name “Christian” should be the only religious name man should want to wear Yet, we see so much division
