Ephesians 4:4-6
"There is one body and one Spirit--just as you were called to one hope that belongs to your call--one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all." ESV
There is only one Church, the body of Christ. While there are thousands of churches, denominations, independent groups, etc., not one of these alone is the Church. The Church consists of those who are drawn by the Holy Spirit, have repented of their sin, and have accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord. The Church is made up of people from every walk of life, denomination or independent group of believers. Isn't it a blessing that we don't have to seek out the "right" church, when the one Church is only a prayer away?
Heavenly Father, please forgive us for getting so focused on our own denomination and traditional beliefs that we lose sight of what the Church, the Bride of Christ really is. Open our eyes to the reality of the Body of Christ and what that means for each of us as we live each day. In the name of Jesus we pray, Amen.
