Christ is leading out a people, and bringing them into the unity of the faith, that they may be one, as He is one with the Father. Differences of opinion must be yielded, that all may come into union with the body, that they may have one mind and one judgment. 1 Corinthians 1:10: “Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.” Romans 15:5, 6: “Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be like-minded one toward another according to Christ Jesus: that ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.” Philippians 2:2: “Fulfill ye my joy, that ye be like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.” {1T 324.1}

Kristus leder et folk ud og bringer dem ind i troens enhed, så de kan være ét, som han er ét med Faderen. Modstandens forskelle må opgives, så alle kan komme i enhed med legemet, at de må have ét sind og en overbevisning. 1.Korinter 1,10: »Men jeg formaner jer, brødre, ved vor Herres Jesu Kristi navn, at I alle skal være enige indbyrdes og at der ikke må findes splittelser iblandt jer, men at I skal være fuldt ud forenede i samme sind og samme overbevisning.« Romerne 15,5.6: »Og udholdenhedens og trøstens Gud vil give jer at være enige indbyrdes, som Kristus Jesus vil det, så I enigt og med én mund kan prise Gud, vor Herres Jesu Kristi Fader.« Filipperne 2,2: »Så gør min glæde fuldkommen ved at være enige, ved at have den samme kærlighed, samme sjæl, samme sind."
