What the
Scriptures say about
Christian AccordTM in the Body of Christ:
Acts 2:
1 (NKJV)
1
Now when the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with
one accord in one place.
Colossians 3: 12-17 (translation by William Barclay)
You are God's chosen people, dedicated and dear to Him. You must
therefore clothe yourselves in compassion, in kindness, in
humility, in gentleness, in patience. You must bear with each
other, and, if anyone has something to complain about in someone
else, you must forgive each other. You must forgive each other as
the Lord forgave you. And, to crown all, you must clothe
yourselves in love, which holds all the other qualities together
and completes them. Only
Christ can enable men to live in a right relationship with each
other. It is this unifying power of His which must dictate your
every decision, for you were meant to be one united body. You must be thankful. You must
open your hearts to the message of Christ so that in all its
riches it may find its home there. You must with all wisdom
continually teach and advise each other. With heartfelt gratitude
to Him you must sing to God in psalms and hymns and songs
inspired by the Spirit. Whatever you do and whatever you say, you
must do and say it all as the representatives of the Lord Jesus,
and all the time you must be giving thanks to God the Father
through Him.
John
13: 35 (NAS)
35 "By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if
you have love for one another."
John
17: 11, 20-23, 26
(NAS)
11. "And I am no more in the world; and [yet] they
themselves are in the world, and I come to Thee. Holy Father,
keep them in Thy name, [the name] which Thou hast given Me, that
they may be one, even as We [are.] 20. "I do not ask in
behalf of these alone, but for those also who believe in Me
through their word; 21 that they may all be one; even as Thou,
Father, [art] in Me, and I in Thee, that they also may be in Us;
that the world may believe that Thou didst send Me. 22 "And
the glory which Thou hast given Me I have given to them; that
they may be one, just as We are one; 23 I in them, and Thou in
Me, that they may be perfected in unity, that the world may know
that Thou didst send Me, and didst love them, even as Thou didst
love Me.
John
17: 26
(NAS)
26 and I have made Thy name known to them, and will make it
known; that the love wherewith Thou didst love Me may be in them,
and I in them."
Romans
12: 1-13, 16-21
(NAS)
1. I urge you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to
present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to
God, [which is] your spiritual service of worship. 2 And do not
be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of
your mind, that you may prove what the will of God is, that which
is good and acceptable and perfect. 3 For through the grace given
to me I say to every man among you not to think more highly of
himself than he ought to think; but to think so as to have sound
judgment, as God has allotted to each a measure of faith. 4 For
just as we have many members in one body and all the members do
not have the same function, 5 so we, who are many, are one body
in Christ, and individually members one of another. 6 And since
we have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us,
[let each exercise them accordingly]: if prophecy, according to
the proportion of his faith; 7 if service, in his serving; or he
who teaches, in his teaching; 8 or he who exhorts, in his
exhortation; he who gives, with liberality; he who leads, with
diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness. 9 Let love be
without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil; cling to what is good. 10
Be devoted to one another in brotherly love; give preference to
one another in honor; 11 not lagging behind in diligence, fervent
in spirit, serving the Lord; 12 rejoicing in hope, persevering in
tribulation, devoted to prayer, 13 contributing to the needs of
the saints, practicing hospitality. 16 Be of the same mind toward
one another; do not be haughty in mind, but associate with the
lowly. Do not be wise in your own estimation. 17 Never pay back
evil for evil to anyone. Respect what is right in the sight of
all men. 18 If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace
with all men. 19 Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave
room for the wrath [of God,] for it is written, "VENGEANCE
IS MINE, I WILL REPAY," says the Lord. 20 "BUT IF YOUR
ENEMY IS HUNGRY, FEED HIM, AND IF HE IS THIRSTY, GIVE HIM A
DRINK; FOR IN SO DOING YOU WILL HEAP BURNING COALS UPON HIS
HEAD." 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with
good.
1
Corinthians 1: 10
(KJV)
10 Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus
Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no
divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in
the same mind and in the same judgment.
1 Corinthians 10: 17
(NAS)
17 Since there is one bread, we who are many are one body; for we
all partake of the one bread.
1
Corinthians 12: 12-14, 20, 27
(NAS)
12. For even as the body is one and [yet] has many members, and
all the members of the body, though they are many, are one body,
so also is Christ. 13 For by one Spirit we were all baptized into
one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we
were all made to drink of one Spirit. 14 For the body is not one
member, but many. 20 But now there are many members, but one
body. 27. Now you are Christ's body, and individually members of
it.
2
Corinthians 13: 11
(KJV)
11 Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort,
be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace
shall be with you.
Galatians 3: 28
(NAS)
28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor
free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one
in Christ Jesus.
Ephesians
2: 11-22
(NAS)
11 ¶ Therefore remember,
that formerly you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called
"Uncircumcision" by the so-called
"Circumcision," [which is] performed in the flesh by
human hands-- 12 [remember] that you were at that time separate
from Christ, excluded from the commonwealth of Israel, and
strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without
God in the world. 13 But now in Christ Jesus you who formerly
were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. 14 ¶
For He Himself is our peace, who made both [groups into] one, and
broke down the barrier of the dividing wall, 15 by abolishing in
His flesh the enmity, [which is] the Law of commandments
[contained] in ordinances, that in Himself He might make the two
into one new man, [thus] establishing peace, 16 and might
reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, by it
having put to death the enmity. 17 AND HE CAME AND PREACHED PEACE
TO YOU WHO WERE FAR AWAY, AND PEACE TO THOSE WHO WERE NEAR; 18
for through Him we both have our access in one Spirit to the
Father. 19 So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but
you are fellow citizens with the saints, and are of God's
household, 20 having been built upon the foundation of the
apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the corner
[stone], 21 in whom the whole building, being fitted together is
growing into a holy temple in the Lord; 22 in whom you also are
being built together into a dwelling of God in the Spirit.
Ephesians 4: 11-16 (NAS)
11 And He gave some [as] apostles, and some [as] prophets, and
some [as] evangelists, and some [as] pastors and teachers, 12 for
the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the
building up of the body of Christ; 13 until we all attain to the
unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a
mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the
fulness of Christ. 14 As a result, we are no longer to be
children, tossed here and there by waves, and carried about by
every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in
deceitful scheming; 15 but speaking the truth in love, we are to
grow up in all [aspects] into Him, who is the head, [even]
Christ, 16 from whom the whole body, being fitted and held
together by that which every joint supplies, according to the
proper working of each individual part, causes the growth of the
body for the building up of itself in love.
Colossians
2: 1-3
(NAS)
1. For I want you to know how great a struggle I have on your
behalf, and for those who are at Laodicea, and for all those who
have not personally seen my face, 2 that their hearts may be
encouraged, having been knit together in love, and [attaining] to
all the wealth that comes from the full assurance of
understanding, [resulting] in a true knowledge of God's mystery,
[that is,] Christ [Himself], 3 in whom are hidden all the
treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
1
John 4: 12, 19
(NAS)
12 No one has beheld God at any time; if we love one another, God
abides in us, and His love is perfected in us. 19 We love,
because He first loved us.
