Harmony Through Shared Truth

AMY TURNER

When people live in peace and work together, it brings joy and strength to a community. Psalm 133:1 tells us, “How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity.” This applies especially to the church.

In music, harmony requires two things. First, everyone must sing the same song—if each person uses a different piece of music, the result is disorder. Second, each person should sing their part, not the same note. The beauty comes from different voices blending together. The same is true for the church.

Christians follow one source: the Bible. It’s the foundation for what we believe and how we live. However, we each bring our own voice, with different perspectives and gifts. This diversity doesn’t weaken unity; instead, it strengthens it.

For just as the body is one and yet has many parts, and all the parts of the body, though they are many, are one body, so also is Christ.

1 Corinthians 12:12
