The Seven Ones

Ephesians 4:1-6

The Father, Son, and Spirit are one. Jesus prayed that His disciples would be one. Ephesians 4:4-6 is the path to oneness.

1. One Body - the church (Ephesians 1:22-23)

2. One Spirit - the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13-14)

3. One Hope - forgiveness in Christ (Ephesians 1:18)

4. One Lord - Jesus Christ (Ephesians 1:2)

5. One Faith - revealed body of truth (Ephesians 4:13)

6. One Baptism - water baptism in Jesus' name (Ephesians 5:26)

7. One God and Father of All - our Heavenly Father (Ephesians 1:2)

Consider the seven ones of Ephesians 4:4-6 and make every effort to be one with your brothers and sisters in Christ.
