"Maintain the Oneness of the Spirit"

 THE apostle Paul urged Christians in Ephesus to keep "putting up with one another in love, earnestly endeavoring to maintain the oneness of the spirit in the uniting bond of peace." - EPHESIANS 4:2, 3.

"The oneness," or unity, that we enjoy is "of the spirit." This means that it is a product of God's active force. However, as Paul noted, our unity needs to be maintained. By whom? Really, each Christian must do this or her part "to maintain the oneness of the spirit."
