Description: Ephesians 6:10-13 — The unity of the Church is undoubtedly one of the most important things for all Christians to seek. But what is unity? Preaching from Ephesians 6:10-13, Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones seeks to answer this without falling into extremes. On the one hand, the ecumenist says that unity is about all Christians belonging to one worldwide church and that doctrine must be minimized so that division is not caused. This is an imbalanced and unbiblical position as Dr. Lloyd-Jones argues, for it does not have a high enough view of doctrine and truth in the life of the Christian and church. The other imbalance that must be avoided is that of the schismatic who divides the church not over the essential truths of the faith, but over things such as carnal desires and inclinations. This is seen when Paul rebukes the Corinthians for dividing over who to follow, Paul or Apollos. This is division for the wrong reason. Dr. Lloyd-Jones goes on to condemn those that cause division because of what he calls an attitude of “bigotry”. This is the person who holds so tightly to their preferences that division and disharmony occur in the church.
