Church Unity
 he Holy Scriptures, Old and New Testaments, are the written Word of God, given by
inspiration through holy men of God who spoke and wrote as they were moved by the Holy
Spirit. In this Word, God has committed to man the knowledge necessary for salvation. The
Holy Scriptures are the infallible revelation of His will. They are the standard of character,
the test of experience, the authoritative revealer of doctrines, and the trustworthy record of
God's acts in history.
he Body of Christ is one body with many members, called from every nation, kindred, tongue, and people. In Christ we are a new" creation; distinctions of race, culture, learning, and nationality, and differences between high and low, rich and poor, male and female, must not be divisive among us. We are all equal in Christ, who by one Spirit has bonded us into one fellowship with Him and with one another; we are to serve and be served without partiality
or reservation. Through the revelation of Jesus Christ in the Scriptures we share the same faith and hope, and reach out in one witness to all. This unity has its source in the oneness of the triune God, who has adopted us as His children. One of God's gifts to His church is unity.

- There are no class distinctions in God's sight. 2 Corinthians 5:16-17; Acts 17:26-27
- In Christ all class distinctions dissolve and we become one people; joint heirs of God's promises to Abraham. Galatians 3:27-29

The Sabbath was hallowed at creation. As ordained for man, it had its origin when "the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy." Job 38:7. Desire of Ages, P. 281.
