Bible Question: Are you saying that only Father, Son and Holy Spirit in their diversity is the only Holy Unity attainable? Thanks. |
Bible Answer: Until we are abolutely free from the remnants of our old fallen natures, we will not attain perfect unity with one another. In the meantime, as we wait and long for the return of the King, we are to keep our eye on the prize and struggle against all things that are impediments to our growth in holiness. Now... we are still sinners whose righteousness is by faith (imputed), then... we will be perfect, free from even the desire to sin, united together in perfect holiness. The prayer of Christ will finally be fulfilled in actuallity. John |
