What Unites Christians (81-90)

Let's examine ten more things that all Christians believe.

81. Healing

All Christians believe that in Jesus’ ministry “the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.” (Matthew 11:5 cf. Luke 7:22)

82. John the Baptist

All Christians believe that John was a great man. “Most certainly I tell you, among those who are born of women there has not arisen anyone greater than John the Baptizer; yet he who is least in the Kingdom of Heaven is greater than he.” (Matthew 11:11 cf. Luke 7:28)

83. God’s Work Ignored

All Christians believe that some places will ignore God’s mighty works and those places will be judged more harshly than Tyre, Sidon and Sodom. (Matthew 11:20-24; Luke 10:13-15)

84. Little Children

All Christians believe that true faith is a child-like faith uncomplicated by the excuses made by the worldly wise (Matthew 11:25; Luke 10:21).

85. Our True Rest

All Christians believe that our true rest is in Jesus. "Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart; and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." (Matthew 11:28-30)

86. Faith Saves

All Christians believe that it is our faith that saves us. Jesus said to a woman, “Your faith has saved you. Go in peace." (Luke 7:50)

87. Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit

All Christian believe that blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is the unforgivable sin, “whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, neither in this age, nor in that which is to come.” (Matthew 12:32b cf. Mark 3:29; Luke 12:10)

88. The Father’s Will

All Christians believe Jesus when He said that “whoever does the will of my Father who is in heaven, he is my brother, and sister, and mother." (Matthew 12:50 cf. Mark 3:35; Luke 8:21)

89. Much Fruit

All Christians believe that some Christians live very fruitful lives, producing much fruit, “some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty.” (Matthew 13:8 cf. Mark 4:8; Luke 8:8)

90. Parables

All Christians believe that parables were used to hide further truth from those who did not want to hear, as Jesus told His disciples, “To you it is given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven, but it is not given to them.“ (Matthew 13:11 cf. Mark 4:11-12; Luke 8:10; Isaiah 6:9-10)
