Now I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to you. Holy Father, keep through Your name those whom You have given Me, that they may be one as We are. 
John 17:11

Just before Jesus arrest, He prayed this prayer for His disciples. He also said a similar prayer for all believers in John 17:21. In both passages He refers to everybody as "one". As Christians, our lives are all woven together into One being. I can't tell you the number of times in my life when fellow Christians have called me at the exact moment I've needed encouraging words, or met someone who touched my spirit through conversation about Spiritual matters and the works of God. Things don't just happen by chance people. God orchestrates everything in the lives of all believers. 

Knowing this fact, what can you do as a Child of God? Pray for fellow believers. When you pray for another Christian you are also praying for yourself. Think about it....we are all "one". The realization that this "world" is not our home, makes us vulnerable to attack through circumstances and other people. Satan uses even our closest friends to bring dischord in our lives. So pray for fellow believers in Christ so that as "one" body we can sustain our faith in this foreighn land. 

Share the message of Jesus Christ with others. Salvation is like a life-ring on a ship. You throw it out there to someone who is drowning. If your eyes are in tune with God, you can clearly see thousands of lives around you drowning in sin and weighted down by their wordly coverings. Throw them the life-ring of Jesus Christ and save them while you can....we are all "creations of God"...we are all "one". Save the drowning! 

Finally, plug into a church of unified believers. Your church should not serve you, but you serve in the church. The church is just a building, a gathering place for believers. Serve in some capacity, when you do so you serve God. As a church family serving God, you are "one" in spirit, one in service and one body showing their love and appreciation for the Savior whoe died for us all. 

Are you part of the "all in one"? If not, accept Jesus Christ gift of sins forgiven and become a child of God through faith and belief in the ONE who offers eternal life in Heaven. Become one of His chosen today. God bless!
