God as Father of all

Ephesians 4:3 (ESV)

3 eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

How does this affect my mind and thoughts towards God? And towards my fellow Christians? How does he reveal himself as Father? He is “merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love” (Psalm 103:8).

I am his child through faith in Jesus Christ, a new creation (Ephesians 2:9–10), and so are all other believers.

How does this change my mind towards the divisions in the church of today?

How does this affect evangelism, when Christians present themselves as a divided people, obscuring the fact that there is only one God and Father of all?
