Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Yeshua the Messiah.
This is not a letter written in anger, but in urgency—not to condemn, but to call. For the hour is late, and the Bridegroom stands at the door. The Church must rise as One Body in Christ—not divided, but whole.
Across many cities, pastors and people have declared, “We are the church,” while speaking only of their own gatherings. But has not the Word made it plain? “There is one body and one Spirit, just as also you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all.” (Ephesians 4:4–6, NASB) As One Body in Christ, we must remember this unity.
The local church is a lampstand—not the whole Temple. You are a part of the Body, not the Body entire. “For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free.” (1 Corinthians 12:13, NASB) To see yourself as whole apart from the rest is to misjudge the very nature of the Body of Christ.
What then shall we say of the present division? Some say, “We cannot unite—they have doctrinal errors.” But Scripture bears witness: the apostles corrected error not by abandoning fellowship, but by calling the saints back to truth. The believers in Corinth were divided, immature, and even tolerating sin—yet they were still addressed as “the Church of God in Corinth… sanctified in Christ Jesus, saints by calling.” (1 Corinthians 1:2, NASB)
Truth and unity are not enemies. They are held together by the Spirit. Truth guards the soul of the Church; unity guards the heart. “Knowledge puffs up, but love builds up.” (1 Corinthians 8:1, NASB) We are called to embody truth as One Body in Christ.
Those who hold fast to doctrine must also hold fast to love. It was Paul who instructed the Church to restore the wandering brother “in a spirit of gentleness” (Galatians 6:1, NASB), and it was the same apostle who urged believers to bear with one another, forgiving each other, and to “put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity.” (Colossians 3:14, NASB)
Let the example of Scripture guide us now. Paul charged the saints in Rome to “accept the one who is weak in faith, but not to have quarrels over opinions.” (Romans 14:1, NASB) And to the Ephesians, he gave this command: “Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.” (Ephesians 4:3, NASB)
Let us not mistake purity for separation. Holiness does not mean isolation. The Bride is not made ready by rejecting her own body—but by being washed by the Word, clothed in humility, and joined together in love as One Body in Christ.
For Yeshua did not pray that each church would stand alone, but that “they may all be one; just as You, Father, are in Me and I in You.” (John 17:21, NASB) If He prayed for oneness, shall we not labor for it?
If we walk in the light as He is in the light, we will have fellowship with one another. (1 John 1:7) And if we do not, then perhaps we do not walk as closely with Him as we imagine.
The Church belongs to Christ—not to a pastor, a building, or a stream. He is the Head. We are His Body. (Colossians 1:18)
So now is the time to restore the fellowship. Not at the cost of truth, but for the sake of truth. Not by ignoring error, but by entering into relationship where truth can be spoken in love. (Ephesians 4:15)
Lay down your pride. Open the doors to your brothers and sisters. Weep with those who weep. Rejoice with those who rejoice. Pray with the saints in other houses. Join hands with those who call on the name of the Lord out of a pure heart. (2 Timothy 2:22)
For there is one Bride, one Spirit, one hope—and the time of separation is over. The Lord is gathering His people again. Will you be found standing with your lamp lit? Or isolated, holding truth without love?
Let the Church be one again.
Let the fellowship be restored.
Let the prayer of our Lord be fulfilled in our day.
He who has ears to hear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
