The Reformation

 

The Reformation

One thing I perceived that is of humongous importance for all believers to know, understand, believe and apply is the principle that pertains to the reformation,

If we all truly understand the reformation that transpired between the old and the new covenant and subject ourselves to it as ordained, I do not think that there would be this myriad of confusions and divisions in the body of Christ (the church) because it is not the will of Jesus Christ nor that of the apostle Paul that we be so divided.

For this is what the apostle Paul wrote “Now I plead with you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment” (1Corinthians 110).

One way I find that we can all be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment is by all adhering to the principles and guidelines established in accordance to the reformation.

But let us first look at the definition of reformation which means making changes to something with the intention of setting it back on the right path.

One important thing we should all take heed of is that, reformation is not an abolition of the principal objective of the matter and in our case it is the replacement of the copy and shadow of the reality and replacing it with the reality.

So let us now delve into the reformation that should keep us all in the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace and principally since; “There is one body and one Spirit, just as we were called in one hope of our calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in us all” (Ephesians 4:3-6).

The reformation which is applicable to all regardless to race, color or creed constitutes three integral, inseparable things which we will study and look into separately.
