Even though there are so many splits and different religious sects in the Christian world today, we cannot avoid the responsibility of bearing witness to the one glorious truth of Christ's body. We should not only theoretically speak the truth about the one body, but also actively express that testimony in our daily life in our Christian fellowship.
CH, Mackintosh, who knows the truth well about this, said: "The first step in accepting the unity of God's church is that we should get rid of the sects of Christianity. After taking that first step, we should not hesitate to ask where our second step is. God never gives enough light for two steps at a time. Is there only one body? Undoubtedly God says so. Then it is clear that all these branches, divisions and systems are not negative to God's mind and will, that's all. So what is our duty? Getting out of those cracks. Our first step in the right direction is to avoid branches. If we stay in any one branch it is like justifying that split. Then we are not those who have accepted the truth of one body through action. You may understand that theoretically the body is the same. That's not enough. If that truth is to be expressed through action, then all branches must first be avoided. If we really hope to accept the truth that 'the body is one' then we are the first Duty, our first duty is to 'distinguish ourselves from all these branches and divisions - systems.' "What should Pimmata do? Look to Jesus. Ultimately it is the duty of the believer. Shall we come out of all branches and start a new branch? Or join another new branch? Not for that. Flee from the desolation around us and seek refuge in the all-rich name of our Creator, Lord Jesus Christ, in the sea of this river, . To keep our eyes fixed on Him until we reach that eternal rest, the glorious dock.” (C.H.M.).
