162. Where do we place our hope when there is divisiveness in the Christian church?

We confidently hope for the consummation of Christ’s Church. Jesus Christ will prepare a congregation from all the churches on earth and will present it in the presence of the Father, with joy.

  • There will be one flock and one shepherd. (John 10:16)
  • Till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ. (Ephesians 4:13)
  • Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen. (Ephesians 3:20-21)
