Devo # 18 -One Baptism

"1As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. 2Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love.3Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. 4There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to one hope when you were called— 5one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all."

Today, we will talk about One Baptism.

I Cor 12: 13 says 13For by ]means of the personal agency of] one [Holy] Spirit we were all, whether Jews or Greeks, slaves or free, baptized [and ]by baptism united together] into one body, and all made to drink of one [Holy] Spirit..(Amplified)

When we accepted Jesus as our personal saviour. the same Holy Spirit came into each of our lives uniting us as a body of Christ. This one Holy Spirit unites us as Christians, making it possible for us to have instant fellowship, even with people we have just met.

Lord, thank you for your precious Holy Spirit tht unites us a believers. Help me to be sensitive you your presence in my life and in my brothers and sisters as I go throughout this day.

In Jesus Name. Amen
