As Christians we worship our triune God: we have God as our Father, Jesus Christ as our Saviour and the Holy Spirit as our in-dweller. These three equal and yet individual persons of the godhead we refer to as the Trinity – trinity simply means tri-unity: there’s plurality in God’s unity. Within the Trinity there is perfect unity in diversity. God is a community in diversity… and that’s what He wants for us. In the church there is meant to be unity in diversity. Just as the Holy Trinity – Father, Son and Holy Spirit – are a community in diversity, so is the Christian church; we are a community in diversity; unified but diverse. We are all different, and we all have different views and opinions and different tastes. However, our unity means that our diversity does not become division. And our diversity means that our unity does not become uniformity. If Jesus truly is Lord in our lives, then there should be unity in the church. Division and dissension in the church only weakens our united testimony! We are not created to be the same. We are not meant to become carbon copies of each other. We are created with differences; there’s variety between us and this is meant to be harmonious and complimentary. We are a community in diversity.
