That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. (Joh_17:21)

Let these words be repeated often, and let every soul discipline its thoughts, spirit and action daily so that this prayer of Jesus Christ may be fulfilled.
He does not require impossible things of His Father. He prays for precisely what must be in His disciples in relation to mutual union, and their unity and oneness with God and Jesus Christ. Anything short of this level does not correspond to the perfection of Christian character. The golden chain of love, which binds the hearts of believers in unity, in bonds of fellowship and love, and in union with Christ and the Father, establishes the perfect connection and gives to the world a testimony to the power of Christianity which cannot be controverted…..

Then selfishness will be uprooted and unfaithfulness will be no more. There will be no strife and no division. There will be no stubbornness in anyone who is united with Christ. No one will proceed with the stubborn independence of the wayward, impulsive child who drops the hand that leads him and chooses to stumble alone…..

That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one.
‘A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another’ (Joh_13:34, Joh_13:35).

‘Satan’ understands the power of such a testimony before the world, and how much it can do in transforming character. He is not pleased to have such a light shining from those who claim to believe in Jesus Christ, and he will put into practice every conceivable means to break that golden chain which binds heart to heart of those who believe the truth, and unites them in intimate relationship with the Father and the Son….

We believe in Jesus Christ. We unite our soul with Christ. He says,

‘Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit…. This I command you: That ye love one another’ (Joh_15:16, Joh_15:17)

(Letter 110, 1893). 176
