Knowing about Christian Unity and building it are not the same. Knowledge can be gathered quickly, but building spiritual unity requires understanding the Bible, human nature and our own weaknesses. Knowing how to build unity requires: (1) a good spiritual strategy, (2) time to work with believers and leaders, (3) much prayer, (4) a heart commitment to achieve it even during the difficult times, (5) spiritual fortitude to press on with Christ's will until it happens, and (6) love that can see beyond the problems to the reality that He is calling into existence. It is not easy to achieve it, but it is possible.

In order to build unity, we must be "proactive," that is, engage in activities that will build unity. Here are the main keys to building Christian unity in your church and community. First of all, pray for it. Prayer influences the spiritual atmosphere on earth and pray that His Kingdom will come with unity. Then tell others about it. Tell believers around you to pray for it and establish prayer groups in churches to pray for it.

Next, live it in your relationships with other believers by supporting them spiritually and practically. Never speak against other Christians, but bless them and go to them in private if there is a sin problem in their life. And above all, manifest practical Christian love for all other believers irrespective of race, ethnic background, social status or educational level.
