The Goal
To embrace Jesus’ prayer for unity that is the same as between Him and His Father in John 17:20-21—achieved by loving God totally (Deuteronomy 6:1-5).
The Basis
The Bible as our guide, using both testaments according to the instructions in the New Testament (Colossians 3:17).
The Point
To show Jesus to the world by loving one another as He loves us (John 13:34-35).
The Worship
To offer God only what He wants—worship in spirit and truth (John 4:23-24).
The Plan
To love our neighbors as we love ourselves so that they can be encouraged to obey Jesus’ plan of salvation (Matthew 5:13-16; 28:18-20).
The Motivation
On earth, one holy nation proclaiming the perfections of God (1 Peter 2:5-9). In heaven, being part of the eternally redeemed (2 Peter 1:5-11).
