DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

A.W. Tozer emphasizes the importance of spiritual unanimity as described
by the Apostle Peter, who encourages the early Christian church to
embody qualities such as compassion, love, pity, courtesy, and
forgiveness. Tozer clarifies that this unity is not about enforced
uniformity but rather a genuine expression of God's love through the
Holy Spirit, which fosters a deep connection among believers. He
concludes that true unity among individuals can only be achieved through
the love of Christ, which transforms hearts and minds.

The Holy Spirit knew what He was doing when He moved the Apostle Peter
to write to the early Christian church about the reality of being "of
one mind" in their fellowship. Peter was not asking all the brothers and
sisters to settle for some kind of regulated uniformity. He was
recommending a spiritual unanimity-which means that the Spirit of God
making Christ real within our beings will also give us a unity in
certain qualities and disposition. Peter leaves little doubt about the
fruits of genuine Christian unanimity within: "Be alike in compassion.
Be alike in loving. Be alike in pity.

Be alike in courtesy.

Be alike in forgiving!" Then he sums it all up: "Finally, be ye all of
one mind!" God's love shed abroad in our heart compassion and love which
can only be found in Jesus Christ-these are the only elements of true
unity among men and women today!
