Quotable

A chorus of voices keeps harping the unity tune. What they are saying is, “Christians of all doctrinal shades and beliefs must come together in one visible organization, regardless....Unite, unite!” Such teaching is false, reckless, and dangerous. Truth alone must determine our alignments. Truth comes before unity.

Unity without truth is hazardous. Our Lord’s prayer in John 17 must be read in its full context. Only those sanctified through the Word can be one in Christ. To teach otherwise is to betray the gospel.

Charles Haddon Spurgeon
