Psalm 133:1-3
When Eve and Adam ate the apple and were expelled from the garden, God set in motion a plan to reconcile all of humanity to Godself. It is natural to wonder why God would not just destroy everything and start over. God loved us. God loves us still!
The Trinity is proof that the very character of God is rooted in community. Patiently and painstakingly, God has worked with humanity through the ages to draw creation into everlasting communion.
That is the picture God wants us to see today. When people called by God live together with unity of purpose, God is pleased. Just as importantly, the world around us can get a glimpse of who God really is—a God who loves us and rejoices in our fellowship.
What God wants for all of creation is to live in a union that cannot be tainted by the effects of sin. While we live in this fallen world, we are called to living in the unity of the Spirit until Christ returns.
