Let Us Walk Together

"Can two walk together, except they be agreed?"  Amos 3:3.  In John chapter 17, Jesus prayed for the unity of all believers.  And yet, those who claim faith in Jesus walk apart.  We are unable to walk together in the name which we wear as believers.  We are unable to walk together in the manner in which we receive the salvation which God offers to everyone.  We are unable to walk together in the activities of our worship.  Still, we have the idea that we will all go to heaven and live with God throughout eternity.  The claim is made that all roads lead to heaven.  This passage in Amos teaches that the road which believers walk must be one road.  The followers of God in our time walk apart when God wants us to walk together.  That which can lead us to the same path where, indeed, we will walk together is the word of God.  All of the writers of the New Testament, the covenant of Christ by which He speaks unto us today, walked together.  All of them were inspired by the "one Spirit" (Ephesians 4:4), and thus, all spoke in unity.  If we follow the teachings which were given by inspiration, we will walk together.  God's followers and Christ's disciples must be agreed.   "Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel."  Philippians 1:27.
