Theme of the Day: Christ Unites His Church
The church’s unity is built on truths that transcend outward differences. Through faith in Christ, every member of the church is united with him. Through faith in Christ, every member of the church is washed clean of every sin. As a result, through faith in Christ, every member of the church is united to every other member of the church. They are a communion of saints.
