Description

In this issue of the FGB on Christian Unity, Arthur W. Pink introduces Christian unity as the fruit of regeneration. Matthew Henry then explains from Scripture that this unity has its origin in the oneness of the members of the Godhead. Charles Spurgeon describes the unity that Christ prayed for, contrasting it with man-made movements and denominations. David Martyn Lloyd-Jones then beautifully describes the spiritual nature of unity in Christ’s body. Following that, Anthony Burgess discusses the difference between visible and invisible unity. A second article by Lloyd-Jones lists helpful steps for guarding the Spirit’s unity among Christ’s people. Thomas Smyth offers us twelve rules for promoting harmony among church members, and another article by Anthony Burgess exhorts ministers to seek unity among themselves. The unity of pastors and members of Christ’s churches is important; Andrew Fuller guides in securing it. In his third article, Burgess expounds the excellence of unity and how it brings the world to believe the truth of Christ’s saving mercies. Spurgeon’s second article calls us to the crucial work needed in accomplishing Christian unity. We conclude with Jeremiah Burroughs explaining the excellence and beauty of peace, love, and harmony among the blood-bought people of God. May the Lord help us to see and pursue it.
