The Holy Spirit Brings Unity.

The Holy Spirit Brings Unity. Then those who gladly received his word were baptized; and that day about three thousand souls were added to them. And they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers. Then fear came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were done through the apostles. (Acts 2:41-43) Peter preaches the first ever Gospel sermon and 3000 people are saved. Immediately they are baptised, probably both in water and the Spirit. Now because they had all received the Holy Spirit, they stayed in unity. You are going to find it hard to stay in unity without The Spirit. This was not just a spiritual unity - they fellowshipped together, they took communion together and prayed together. Reverential fear came upon all of them, to do what Jesus said: To go into all the world and preach the Gospel. As a result, many signs and wonders were done by Spirit-filled believers. If you want to see the miracles, you will have to do the unity bit too. When did you last fellowship with other believers outside of church? Is there a home group that you could attend?
