OF THE COMMUNION OF THE SAINTS Ch.27

Many in the church today do not accept God's unifying work of the gospel. (The Problem)

If we claim the forgiveness of our sin, then we MUST see that God has bound us together with others who are also forgiven and forgotten.
a. To claim that we love God but ignore his word is living a lie.
b. If we have truly been saved of God, then he has bound us to other believers.
c. If we deny that we are thinking wrongly, it is sin before God himself.
d. The ONLY way to correct the division is through genuine repentance.

If we refuse to accept others based upon their saving faith in Christ, we cannot claim any form of saving grace for ourselves. (The Follow-Through)
