ONE
Eph 4:4-6
4 There is one body and one Spirit— just as you were called to one hope when you were called— 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.
NIV
This is the truth of all truth right here in these words. When I was thinking about making every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit, this is it. I am a part of one. There is only one, not many. There is only one body, one Spirit and one hope. Why do people endeavor to make so many from one. Why cannot every person accept the fact of one? Is that so difficult? I get so frustrated when people tell me well that is good for you, but not me. They say, “I don’t believe that”. Why? I do not have any problem accepting one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all. This is the only way I could ever think. Years ago I remember trying some of those other beliefs. I looked in to Buddhism, Yoga and even Zen. I found the faults. I have studied Islam enough to know it too is false. No other belief comes to the conclusion of only one God who is Father of all. Why is that? I just do not understand why people are so deceived by these beliefs which are based upon some one man who says he either had a vision or dream, or was given a revelation. Are people so opposed to the standard God the Father of all has established they simply have to create something of they own so to be able to comply with it? Some people even think I am so narrow-minded in my belief, in my faith, that I am not willing to tolerate their beliefs. I suppose I am in that sense. I cannot tolerate untruths. I will not accept the concepts of many paths to God. I will not ever believe there is more than one God. He said it himself; there is one Lord, one faith, one baptism and one God. There is only one way to him and that is through the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus said he was the truth, the light and the way, that no one comes to the Father except through him. It is just that simple. One!
