Till they all come to the unity of the faith?
God is working in us, both to will and to work of His good pleasure. He has made it clear, from scripture that He has intention of a spiritual takeover, throughout the world by the love of Christ and the sacrifice that He has made. Initially, He has parted the nations and separated them into denominations by when salvation came to the nations. Here, in America, those lines get blurred. But in the other nations the dates that they celebrate are akin to the salvation of their race. Their rosh hashana, so to speak. We have dates of personal revival and intentions to holiness. The specific date that the Lord held our hearts sway and vanquished us personally in His love, like marriage. That is our personal date of experiential religion. But all in all, the dates that God's people found Him standing there on their behalf are worthy of celebration as well. Here we raise our Ebenezer! The Ethiopian Eunuch and the doctrines of the faith penned by Athenaseus are the African American's rosh hashana. We were the first gentiles, through Philip, quiet as it is kept and then the other nations came after. God's amazing work through the Queen of the South and the Queen Candice in her lot are dates that we accept. God is making one flesh out of us all and we will all lay aside those dates and celebrations of Christian conversion and hold alone to the unity of the faith, unto a mature and whole man of faith. God grant us that unity.
