One Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
- Ephesians 4:5-6 (NKJV)
In 1986 a film was released called “Highlander”, which ended up being the first of a series of sequels and the basis of a subsequent television spinoff.
The plot of both the movies and the television series was of a centuries old war between immortal warriors, with the tagline “There can be only one”.
While the fantasy action-adventure story is riveting if you like that sort of genre, the part that rings true is that there really can be only one.
Growing up, I was fascinated with mythology from all regions and all the gods that each culture has.
They all have good and bad gods but it seems that even in mythology the gods were always in battle to determine who was the best.
But our God says there can be only one (I am the Lord your God, you shall have no other gods before me).
In his letters to the church of Ephesus, Paul was encouraging the early church, instructing the people to not be divided by their previous beliefs as Gentiles or Jews.
This included of course the direction to walk in unity with one another following the teaching of the one true God.
We are truly blessed that God lives within each of us, that He guides us.
By adhering to our faith and honoring our baptism we are honoring God, who will provide for our every need.
He is the one amazing and awesome Father of all.
