Présentation de l'éditeur
Keeping the Unity of the Spirit. Endeavoring to Keep the Unity of the Spirit in the Bond of Peace. Ephesians iv:3. There is a Unity of the Holy Spirit which is no less than the Unity of God. As we speak of the Three Persons in one God, so in the Blessed Trinity we may speak of the Third Person the Holy Spirit in One God. Man has nothing to do with making and breaking that divine Unity. That is obviously, then, not the sense in which we are to consider Unity of the Spirit in our text. There is also a Unity of the Spirit as we have knowledge of His working in the history of mankind. This Unity amounts to a perfect consistency, as it was in the beginning, is now, oand ever shall be. The same Spirit that brooded over the en face of the waters, inspired the prophets, moved holy men of rold to write the Scriptures, co-worked with the Second Person 2of the Trinity in the incarnation of Jesus Christ, came in the Pentecostal tongues of fire, maketh intercession for us, and is =: in all the ages the One Spirit of the One Body of Qirist His SC hurch. i -B ut again the unity with itself of that divine agency its oneness and identity wherever it is revealed in human aflfairs in no sense depends upon our keeping, and the text cannot therefore mean to exhort us to anything like that as an object of our effort in its bidding to the endeavor to keep the Unity of the Spirit. And so we narrow down thq Apostolic charge to its practicable limits, and reach its precise point. The Apostle portrays a condition of things among those to whom he was writing which leaves no doubt as to the pith of this appeal.
