The True Basis of Christian Union

By Editor

IN our Missionary Department is an item from the Chinese Recorder, lamenting the lack of union among Christians in the mission work in that field. There is one true basis of union among the different sects of Christians, and that is union with Christ through his truth. Regeneration through faith, and abiding faith based on the word of God, will certainly bring and maintain union with God. And if we are united with God, we will of necessity be united with each other. But such union necessitates the laying aside of all human creeds, and coming direct to the fountain, the Bible. The world would then know, so far as the world could know, that the mission of Christ was divine. John 17:21. Such union would be a power, but it can only be built up between regenerate hearts.
