While Christendom presents the sad spectacle of its fragmentation and its many denominations, the saints who gather outside of any organization and profess to come together on the basis of the unity of the body of Christ have many serious exhortations and divine resources for a time of ruin.
Unity is God’s primary intention, but since the Fall it has been based on the separation of good and evil. Individual responsibility takes precedence over collective responsibility, and this is first and foremost reflected in the Christian’s walk, in which he must keep himself separate from all evil and all mixture. To practice good, one must first be separated from evil oneself.
A few of the great Christian truths presented simply in list form, with the corresponding biblical references. This is not a creed. Creeds rephrase divine truths in language that is often imperfect and subject to controversy. The Word of God is the true and only source of truth. It presents the truth in our language, in a unique way, with accuracy and authority. (2 Tim. 1:13–14; 2:8–17)
God, in his being, is unfathomable. (Isaiah 40:28). The Trinity was revealed during the coming of the Son of God to earth. Alas, from the first centuries, the church got lost in miserable reasoning on this subject. This truth, now presented to faith, is simple and marvelous, though always unfathomable to the creature.
What is the practical life of the Christian as risen in Christ? How can you reflect the characters of Christ in your life? These are the questions that this short and remarkable commentary answers.
