Is Christ Divided?

"Is Christ divided?"  I Corinthians 1:13.  This question is asked of a troubled body of believers.  Their hearts are divided over whom they should follow and whose name they should wear.  Is not the same true in our religious world of today?  Division will prevent the cause from succeeding.  Division will bring defeat rather than victory.  Those who choose to follow Christ are to dwell in unity.  We are to stand as one.  Our faith is to be one.  Christ is not divided, and neither must His followers be divided.  We should wear His name, not the name of some human.  We should embrace His teaching, not the teaching of a human mind.  Christ is one, and His body, the church, is one.  As there is not a multitude of Christs, so there is to be no multitude of bodies, nor teachings.  Believers are not to be in disharmony, nor separated into different sects.  When men follow different opinions and relate them to Christ, they have erred.  Christ is one.  His body is one.  His followers are one.   United with the one Christ is the assurance of hope and victory.
