When I look at the strife and broken unity in the early 1st century church, I can't help but remember what God has done in order for me to receive reconciliation, and most importantly, salvation from HIS wrath!

There are times when Believers in Christ have been divided on such selfish and irrelevant issues, that it is hinders the corporate mandate of Worshiping, Serving and bringing Glory and Honor to our Lord.

Yet, it is these same issues, being the very reason why God was willing to reconcile us, restoring us into fellowship with HIM.

HIS WORD says that Christ gave HIS Life for my life, while I was still an enemy of God, bringing not only reconciliation, but also a promise of unity and order within the body of Believers in Christ, HIS Church.

What causes such strife, and more importantly, a continuation of broken fellowship between believers who claim HIS promise of Justification and Salvation through the Blood sacrifice of Christ Jesus?

Could it be that refusing to humble ourselves before HIM, a Holy and Righteous God, unwilling to repent and bow before HIM or even surrendering the Victory in Christ, which long ago was made complete at Calvary, or..........?
