The more we are sanctified in the truth, the more we are one; sanctification through the word of the truth results in oneness by dealing with all the factors of division. This is seen in the Lord’s prayer in John 17, where He prayed that His disciples and all those who believe into Him would […]
Sanctification through the Word of the Truth brings us into the Oneness of the Triune God
Standing on the Unique Ground of God’s Choice to be the Testimony of God in Oneness
This week we want to enjoy a sweet, soothing, flavorful, and aromatic word in God’s word on Jehovah’s commanded blessing of life on brothers who dwell together in oneness, and today in particular we want to see the unique ground of God’s choice – the ground of oneness.
