Interpretation of the Bible / Ephesians 4:3

Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.

Verse 3 of chapter 4 of Paul’s letter to the Ephesians calls us to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. Unity is a fundamental value in any group and is especially important in the church because it is the physical representation of Christ on earth. Therefore, when the church is united, Christ is present. But how do we achieve the unity of the Spirit and why is it important?

Achieving the unity of the Spirit in the church is not an easy task, but it is possible through Christian love, which seeks unity in diversity. We must strive to maintain harmony in our relationships with others and be willing to forgive and be forgiven when we are offended. Moreover, we must remain humble and be willing to compromise on issues that are not fundamental to the faith without compromising it.
