Romans Chapter 15 Vs. 6

 

The Example of Christ

That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Rom 15:6

That ye may... Our unity should be both real and apparent. But the consummate purpose of unity is not to please other believers but to glorify God.

Eph. 1:3 “Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly [places] in Christ:”

and one mouth... We must all agree to the fact that Jesus Christ our Savior and Lord is also the Resurrection and our Life. Our praises to the Father should go up continually for giving His only begotten Son that we might be saved.

1Pet. 1:3 “Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,”

The ultimate purpose of this unity was that with one heart and mouth (a unity of inward feeling and outward expression) they would glorify (pres. tense, “keep on glorifying”) the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ (2Cor. 1:3; Eph. 1:3; 1Pet. 1:3 have the same wording about God). This is the final purpose of Christians individually and of the church corporately (cf. Rom. 15:7; 1Cor. 6:20; 2Thes. 1:12).
