The Theology of Unity (Part 2)
November 7, 2021 Speaker: Jim Harris Series: Ephesians
Scripture: Ephesians 4:5–6
Today we conclude the doctrinal statement of unity of the Spirit which we are commanded to be diligent to preserve. This is a highly stylish passage. The sense of it goes like this.
Ephesians 4:3b–6: . . . being diligent to preserve the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace: [Specifically] one body and one Spirit, just as also you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all who is over all and through all and in all.
One occurs 7 times in verses 4-6
There are 3 triads in these verses

- One Body
- One Spirit
- One Hope
- One Lord
