DAILY BREAD OF LIFE

(KJV.)  EPHESIANS 4:4-6

(4)  There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
(5)  One Lord,  one faith,  one baptism,
(6)  One God and Father of all,  who is above all,  and through all,  and in you all.

SAME, SAME, SAME!

Brethren, there is one body also referred to as one faith, which is the faith in our Father through the righteousness of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior;  for, he came on earth to establish the kingdom of heaven through his ministry, after he suffered, was crucified, died and rose again from the dead, and ascended into heavenly places; evil people thought when they killed him, they killed his ministry also, but alas, when he resurrected from the death, his ministry resurrected with him, spread out it's wings into the entire planet earth; therefore, if we are in any type of spiritual setting with the name of Jesus Christ; we are his because we do not belong to the enemy, we belong to his spiritual body and not the world of darkness but in his lights; and if we are in his body, then we possess the same Spirit, which is the resurrection power of the Holy Spirit; for the Spirit of our Father dwells in every soul, born unto this earth; whether they are of the body of Christ our not, we all possess the Spirit of our Father; however, when we receive Jesus Christ into our hearts as Lord and Savior, and are baptized into the faith of his righteousness, that is when the resurrection power of the Holy Spirit comes to reside in our innermost spirit to be our companion, comforter and to teach us all things, to resist temptations of this world and walk in godliness into life everlasting; same ways we have been called into his body to persevere, forbear and do his will with joyfulness of hearts to accomplish our god-given assignments on planet earth, receive eternal rewards in heavenly places forevermore.

Case in point, in the above text, it is stated clearly that there is, (i)  One Lord, which is Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, who is the only way to salvation, by his death and resurrection, he broke the vail of the temple, made himself as the bridge between humanity and our Father, so we can have one on one relationships, confess our sins directly to him and Jesus sat on the right hand side of our Father, pleading for his forgiveness and mercies on our behalves when we transgress against our Father, to receive his second, third and forth chances, to start newer relationships with him over and over again;  therefore, regardless of how we perceive events surrounding the life and death of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, he is the Lord of heaven and the Lord of the earth forevermore; (ii)  one faith, to belong in the body of Christ; we also have to have one faith that the life, ministry, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior is true, real and did happened; not only that but believe and trust in our Father's promises revealed through Jesus Christ in the scriptures, have confidence in his capability to do the impossible, and though we do not see his manifestations physically, we ought to believe and accept the facts of what he has already done, and believe that he will do much more through the resurrection power of the Holy Spirit and by his grace; therefore, as believers, let us have greater faith in his righteousness; for it is written in the book of Hebrews, 11:6, "But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.";  (iii)  one baptism, to complete the process of our faith in the body of Christ; after we accept Jesus Christ into our hearts as Lord and Savior, the necessary steps which follows is to be submerged in water, symbolically, to purify our souls from all transgressions, wash away deeds of the old self so we became newer in the faith of the righteousness of our Father through the cleansing blood of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, to receive salvation, grace and eternity; in most cases, right after the water baptism procedures into the faith, believers will receive the resurrection power of the Holy Spirit into their innermost spirits to indwell permanently within their souls until the day of redemption; therefore, when we receive Jesus Christ into our hearts as Lord and Savior, it will be inappropriate to rule out baptism but rather let us complete the process entirely for our own salvation and for glorification of our Father through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.

Fruit of thought, brethren, we have only one omnipotent being, creator of the universe, the spiritual force in higher authority, supremacy; his life force dwells within all his creation, there is nothing on planet earth that does not have his life force within them, the oceans and rivers, rain waters, forest, trees and flowers of the field, dust of the earth, sands of the seashores, birds of the air, beasts of the fields and humanity;  all things have his breath of life within them; therefore, all things belong to one body; the Almighty Father, the "I am that I am.", from whom all things came into existence, and one Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, his Son, through whom all things exist forevermore.

CONCLUSION:

Dearly beloved, today's text is about understanding the foundation of our faith;  that we belong to one Father through one body of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior; with one resurrection power of the Holy Spirit, received through faith and baptism into his righteousness; therefore, we are of the same Father, same origin, same Spirit, same blood, made the same as our Father, therefore, let us cast away our differences, embrace one another with tender loving cares, as brothers and sisters, and dwell peaceably before the presence of our Father and Jesus Christ forever and evermore. Amen and Amen!
