Ephesians 4:3-6

This goes one step further and shows the church is filled with Christ's own life. I mean the connection is that vital and dynamic. They go together.

Every part of the body has to strive to add to its unity—otherwise, what will happen? The body will throw it off, because that is what the body does with its refuse—it throws it off. The human body even has parts functioning within it to attack enemies and to drive them away. The analogy here is very interesting.

Amos 3:3 adds to this: "Can two walk together except they be agreed?" The answer is no, they cannot. So, what we are seeing here is that the church is not a loosely connected, disjointed, and nebulous entity. It is a body that is solidly locked into a singular mind.

The only unfortunate part of this is that our mind is not the same as His mind. But, that is what the perfecting is for, to bring us so that it is.

Ephesians 4:3-6

The church is a spiritual organism united by what every part has in common, and this is what has drawn us together. That organism is not confined to one corporate organization, but it exists anywhere these elements that bind us together are found. So, He can make a statement “where two or three gather together in My name that I am in the midst of them.” I would not explain that any further because that really has a more specific application than it does to the body of Christ It has do with settling dispute among the brethren, but it does indicate that where those who have Christ’s Spirit who are united in Him in a common cause—in common purpose, in a common work, for a common reason—they are part of that body.

Ephesians 4:3-6

Turn with me to Ephesians 4, verse 3. Now in contrast, Babel is the center of Satan's kingdom and of human rebellion. It ignores God and the true bond of union, therefore, it is the city of confusion. As Babel's sin disunited the people, the Spirit of God given on Pentecost unites God's church in peace.
