I turn now to „Unity‟.1 And what a subject that is! Unity – the unityof God and believers, the unity of believers with each other. Unityamong believers flowing out unity of believers with God himself.This unity among believers is an absolute in the new covenant. Ifanything breaks it, it is a sin; it is tragic. „Vital‟, „essential‟, arewords woefully inadequate to qualify the unity in question. Somuch so, I confess I feel presumptuous even to be discussing it. Butnobody can think of believers and the ekklēsia without thinkingabout unity between believers. Unity is right at the top of the list. InScripture, I mean. In Christendom? That‟s something altogetherdifferent.
