There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all. (1 Corinthians 13:1 NKJV)
For it was fitting for Him … in bringing many sons to glory, to make the captain of the salvation perfect through sufferings. For both He who sanctifies and those who are being sanctified are all of one, for which reason He is not ashamed to call them brethren. (Hebres 2:10-11 NKJV)
All that is good and almighty and loving fills our glorious God beyond human comprehension. In the many names of God is revealed an awe-filling glimpse of the incredible diversity of His divinity.
Though His Holy Spirit resides in human flesh, no one of us is capable to manifest all that He is. So He puts a little of Himself in each of us, and all that He is becomes present—but only in the entire body of believers. In church unity, human diversity reveals divinity.
Heavenly Father, Lord Jesus Christ, Precious Paraclete, Your holiness and glory and love overwhelm us. Make us one, that You might truly be manifest to the world.
