A unidade do povo de Deus é uma grande verdade divina: ?há um só corpo?. Esse é um aspecto relevante. Não temos a verdade para escondê-la, mas para expressá-la e pô-la em prática.
Vivemos em dias de ruína. Mas se rejeitarmos a importante doutrina da unidade do corpo de Cristo por causa das inumeráveis divisões da cristandade, não estaremos edificando sobre a verdade de Deus.
É verdade que há um só corpo? Sim, é verdade. Deus afirma isso em Sua palavra. Será isso que professo, então?
Charles Henry Mackintosh (1820-1896) was an Irish preacher, Bible expositor, and author. Active in the Irish Revival of 1859-1860. His first tract, in 1843, was "The Peace of God," and his last, shortly before his death in 1896, was "The God of Peace." Generally known as C.H.M., was one of the gifted writers of the Plymouth Brethren, so-called.
He was schoolmaster at Westport, County Mayo, Ireland, for a few years. But for the greater part of his life he devoted himself to evangelism and pastoral ministry as well as to religious journalism, as editor of the monthly periodical Things New and Old; and to religious literature. He was the author of the Notes by C. H. M, on all the books of the Pentateuch, which enjoyed great popularity, being sold in enormous quantity, especially in the United States.
