Achieving Zion, Oneness of Heart, in a Divisive World
Keywords
divisiveness, unity, atonement
Abstract
What comes to mind when you hear these phrases?
Forced apart. Forced separation. Driven apart. Strong words bring forth vivid images.
What do these phrases all have to do with each other? They are all rooted in the word division and its related words such as divide and divisive.
If anything, divisiveness is the opposite of the love of God. God came to unite, to unify, to bring together in one (at-ONE-ment). How can we be at one with God when we worship and are entrenched in man-made divisiveness?
