Everything about salvation declares God’s love for unity… there’s ONE true body of believers… ONE Spirit who animates, energizes, and influences those who believe… There’s ONE hope of our calling… ONE Lord Jesus who is exalted ‘far above all principality and power,’ – ONE faith and ONE baptism…
The 7th factor – that binds every true believer together—not only with God—but with each other… We might call this The Father Factor. (v.6) There is ‘one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.’
In this one single verse, we are given a summary statement of the BIBLICAL DOCTRINE OF GOD – set forth in three parts:
1. The Singularity of God
2. The Personality of God
3. The Complexity of God
