Romans 15:5-6: "May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus, that together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ."
Glorifying God with one voice. How well do we do this? Living together in accord with Christ Jesus, this is the harmony that Christians are called to do. But, as this verse indicates, the ability to live like with such unity is granted us by God Himself. It is Him to empowers us to live in accord with Christ, in all harmony and togetherness. But the goal, it turns out, is not mere togetherness. Rather, the goal is to glorify God with one voice. It is not enough to settle, so to speak, with unity but we must strive to sing praises in glory to His name as one Church! Let us then keep this before us as we fix our eyes upon Jesus!
