“What? know ye not that he
which is joined to an harlot is one body? For two, saith He, shall be one
flesh. But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.” (1Cor. 6:16,17).
“A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit. will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. And I will put My Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in My statutes, and ye shall keep My judgments and do them.” (Eze. 36:26,27).
“For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.
For by one Spirit are we all
baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or
free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.” (1Cor. 12:12,13).
“For through Him we both have
access by one Spirit
unto the Father.” (Eph. 2:18).
“There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye
are called in one hope of your calling.” (Eph. 4:4).
“Only let your conversation
be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or
else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind
striving together for the faith of the gospel.” (Phil. 1:27).
One Spirit, biblically
speaking, doesn’t mean one Spirit, as in a Holy Spirit third person of the Godhead.
One Spirit is defined by 1 Corinthians 6:17—that is, a unity of Spirit between
the Father and Son and Their newborn child. A group of such born again children
of God make up the church, the body. Jesus subject to His Father in everything being the head, and the atoned children of God being the body, reconciled by faith to Jesus and sitting in heavenly places in Him, is
what the one Spirit is all about. Here is the biblical threesome; here is the heavenly Trio. Here is a biblical trinity,
if we have to use such a non-biblical term—God, His only begotten Son, and me;
and God, His only begotten Son, and you; and God, His only begotten Son, and all of Their converted, reconciled hosts.
