On Day One

by Pastor Darryl K. Fields |  December 31, 2016

Beloved,
Do you remember the day you believed Jesus for salvation?  On “Day One” you were made one with Christ.  Not only were you made one with Jesus, but on “Day One” you were made one with all believers.  There’s no separation by skin, no difference or division. All who believe are in Christ.  On Day One we’re made one.  

• We’re “one body!” Ephesians 1:22-23 says, “(Jesus) is the head over all things to the church.
• We’re “one Spirit.”  Ephesian 1:13 says, “…ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise.”
• We’ve got “one hope of your calling…” which that believers will be raised from the dead in Christ.
• We’ve got “one Lord” whom God has made “both Lord and Christ.” (Acts 2:36)
• We’ve got “one faith.”  “The faith,” as Jude said, “one for all delivered to the saints.” (Jude 3)
• One Baptism as commanded by Jesus in the Great Commission.
• One God and Father represented in the “Godhead.”

These “seven ones” create a unified church.  Like John Wesley, “I want the whole Christ for my Savior, the whole Bible for my book, the whole Church for my fellowship, and the whole world for my mission field.”  On day one of 2017 we must be one as Christ's church!
Sincerely yours and securely His,
Pastor Darryl K. Fields
