Divine Unity: Embracing Transformative Love
Believers, gathered together, affirm a unique truth rooted in an authentic, self-sacrificing love that can transform lives and establish genuine, spiritual bonds among people. This truth is that the true unity spoken of in Christianity grows out of love for one another and complete trust in God’s presence in their lives. It is precisely because of this love, based on the word of Christ, that believers are able to see themselves as one big family where each one becomes a brother, sister, or mother to others by fulfilling the will of the Heavenly Father. Moreover, collective unity in prayer and spiritual communion allows every participant to feel the presence of the Divine light, which enriches their hearts and grants true eternal happiness—a source of inspiration and strength for overcoming life's trials.Supporting citation(s):"I give you a new commandment: love one another."
