Here are my top reasons for pursuing biblical unity in all that I believe and live in my Christian life: (in no particular order)
- I am a child of a triune, fully unified God
- I love Jesus Christ and His Good News
- I love the church, the universal, catholic church
- I love the Holy Spirit
- Jesus' prayer in John 17 - His glory and fame is on the line!
- I love people
- I love the mission to make disciples
- I love my wife
- I love my daughter
- I love theology
- I love the Word
- Sin is real, dangerous and hopeless
- I love creation
- I hate the Fall and all of its effects and fruit
- Division in the Church is real, unfruitful and counterproductive
- Infighting prevents outreach
- "Unity" today has been lost in translation, especially in Christian circles
- Time must be redeemed because the days are still evil
- Jesus is coming back soon!
- I'm still breathing...
I list these primarily to be stated, not debated.
