Meaning of Unity

Encouragers/ Exhorters: Be who you are!

Each member has his or her own gifts, which are not the same as those of other members. The Church needs all our gifts. We are to be the persons that God has made us to be fully, unreservedly, completely in proportion to the faith. To Encouragers/ Exhorters, God says: “Be who you are!” The rest of us would be in a bad place without you!

Animadores/ Exhortadores: ¡sé quién eres!

La Iglesia necesita todos nuestros dones. Debemos ser las personas que el Dios nos ha hecho de ser con plenitud, sin reserva, completamente en proporción a la fe. A los Animadores/ Exhortadores, Dios les dice: ¡Sé lo quién eres! ¡El resto de nosotros estaríamos en un mal lugar sin ti!

What Really Happened in the Garden

God created the first human, male and female, as a being like himself with whom he could share his life and his creation. But the disobedience of the first humans introduced shame, which drove them away from God and hindered them from agreeing with God about their sin and returning to him. This is always the effect of shame, which comes from us, not from God.
