About this ebook
Viewed from the standpoint of what God is doing in Croatia, Be One, Be Beautiful! A Call to Unity challenges believers across the globe to recognize that the unity of Christians is paramount in God's eternal scheme, an essential prerequisite for blessing and revival. It is the author's conviction that unity reflects God's character as nothing else can.
Using a series of scriptural and natural metaphors, including the human body, the bride, anointing oil, natural diversity, wine, and light, the author discusses the crucial importance of unity for the health and effective growth of the global Body of Christ. A united, beautiful Church, empowered by the Holy Spirit and moving outward to release the love and glory of Christ Jesus is the intended culmination of His redemptive work.
Written by a scientist, the book is aimed at thinking Christians who are willing to strengthen the unity of the Church in practical ways in their workplace, school, or neighborhood. We are united through faith in the redeeming work of Christ, and the shared outworking of this faith in our everyday life is a challenge to every believing Christian.
