Gen 11:4 And they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top is in the heavens; let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth.”Gen 11:6 And the LORD said, “Indeed the people are one and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do; now nothing that they propose to do will be withheld from them.
Christians believe in oneness and compassion. When any part of the body of Jesus is hurting, the whole body hurts as well. This belief is the core of the power of unity. We believe that “together We can accomplish much”
The above incident is a good demonstration of the power of unity. The only mistake they did is that they were building the tower for wrong reasons. They did not want to fulfill the scriptures ” increase and multiply and fill the earth”. They wanted to remain together at one place. The Lord said that with that type of unity nothing can be withheld from them . He therefore confused their language and speech and hence scattered them.
There is no such thing as an autonomous Christian who can stand alone and without any need for others. Two are better than one…there is power of synergy. The working together of two or more people will always yield greater results than the sum total of their individual effects and capabilities.
