One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism

THE first three we have been considering, " one body, one Spirit... one hope of your calling," we may call the circle of reality. Only true Christians can be in dwelt by the Spirit of God. Only true Christians can have the heavenly calling.

The second circle-one Lord, one faith, one baptism-we may call the circle of profession. Of course all Christians are professors, but profession should be real. God does not make provision for anything but reality. When profession is not real, it is the work of the enemy. There is alas! much unreality in this circle. " While men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way." (Matt. 13:25²⁵But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. (Matthew 13:25).)
