Psalm 133:1-3 NKJV
Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brethren to dwell together in unity! [2] It is like the precious oil upon the head, Running down on the beard, The beard of Aaron, Running down on the edge of his garments. [3] It is like the dew of Hermon, Descending upon the mountains of Zion; For there the LORD commanded the blessing - Life forevermore.
"United we stand, divided we fall" that's a very biblical saying.
Matthew 12:25 NKJV
But Jesus knew their thoughts, and said to them: "Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand.
Unity of purpose, heart and mind is God's Will for His People.
Jesus commanded it, prayed for it, it is the pinnacle of true fellowship in God's Kingdom.
As Mount Hermon is the highest mountain in Israel, towering over the Promised Land, so unity, harmony and brotherly love towers above all in the Kingdom of God.
Jesus' Prayer, before His Crucifixion, is a heart cry that His followers should have the same One-ness as He enjoys with His Father.
John 17:11 NKJV
Now I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep through Your Name those whom You have given Me, that they may be one as We are.
Obviously, tragically, we don't exactly see this manifest within the followers of Jesus today. There are so many schisms and fractures in the Body of Christ.
Yet Jesus prayed for us to be one. It is impossible for the Lord not to finally answer Jesus' prayer!
Satan's prime tactic is to set us against one another, but he will not ultimately succeed.
Let's us not forsake the Truth of the Gospel laid out in God's Word, but make love our true focus and aim.
Ephesians 4:1-6 NKJV
I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, [2] with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, [3] endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. [4] There is one body and one Spirit, just as 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 above all, and through all, and in you all.
