Behold, how good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell in unity! It is like the precious oil on the head, running down on the beard, on the beard of Aaron, running down on the collar of his robes! It is like the dew of Hermon, which falls on the mountains of Zion! For there the LORD has commanded the blessing, life forevermore. Psalm 133:1-3
One of the wonderful things to behold in Christianity is when we see brothers dwell together in unity. United does not necessarily mean uniform. Unity happens in diversity. It is when we can accept one another's differences without passing judgment. It is forcing others to believe what we believe on matters that are not essentials. There are essentials in the faith, and on these matters there has to be unity or we can partner in fellowship with others who do not believe the same. For example if people do not believe the Bible as the word of God, we can not walk in fellowship with them. If they do not believe in the Deity of Jesus Christ, the same things, but on matters that are not essential, there has to be willingness to accept others, their preferences, and opinion without passing judgment. 20 July
