“So that there should be no division in the body, but that its parts should have equal concern for each other. ” — 1 Corinthians 12:25 (NIV). As humankind, we were not meant to be divided or to work against each other. This is especially true for those who profess to be members of the Body of Christ. Sadly, this very act is something that runs rampant in our world today. Countless reasons and causes are used and hidden behind to justify division, meanness, disrespect, ill-treatment, divisiveness, and even hatred. Further, these behaviors act like cancer in the human body, destroying and even killing the host. Division is a rouge social disease that is spreading at an alarming rate. However, as a Christian and believer in God, there is no justification to rationalize or support such vile treatment of our fellow man. The Bible teaches the exact opposite. We are charged with loving one another, even if we despise their behavior. We are better served to show love and kindness while extending forgiveness to extinguish the destructive flames of division. We all have a choice and a voice in the matter. We will all be held accountable for how we respond or remain silent and allow the reign of terror to continue its path of destruction.
