Apostle Paul encourages the believers to be unified, as they stand firm “in one spirit…striving together for the faith”.  How sad that much time and effort is lost in some churches by fighting against one another instead of uniting against the real opposition!  It takes a courageous church to resist in-fighting and to maintain the common purpose of serving Christ.
