To Be Likeminded

Roman 15:6,7 “Now the God of patience and consolation grant you to be likeminded 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.”

To be likeminded is to have a common goal and desire. To think with the same purpose and outcome. When everyone works together there is strength in unity. This is the essence of collaboration and team work. It is the ability to lay aside your own wants and desire and look to the common good of all. It was the prayer of Paul that Christians look to Christ as the focus of unity. According to Christ Jesus, what was essential and most important? In everything we do, it was to glorify the Father. As a body of believers, it is our purpose to be focus on eternal matters, keep our eyes and mind on things eternal. United together in our goal to keep Christ first and foremost in our hearts and mind.
