IN ESSENTIALS UNITY, IN NON-ESSENTIALS LIBERTY, IN ALL THINGS CHARITY RUPERTUS MELDENIUS “the watchword of Christian peacemakers” (History of the Christian Church, vol. 7, p. 650). Often attributed to great theologians such as Augustine, it comes from an otherwise undistinguished German Lutheran theologian of the early seventeenth century, Rupertus Meldenius. The phrase occurs in a tract on Christian unity written (circa 1627) during the Thirty Years War (1618–1648), a bloody time in European history in which religious tensions played a significant role.
What are the essentials? IN ESSENTIALS UNITY ... The Doctrines are the essentials. ... 1. Theology or the Doctrine of God. There is a God. 2. The Doctrine of The Bible, The bible is our authority, inspired, every word, 3. The Doctrine of Sin ... man has a sin nature, 4. The Doctrine of Salvation ... man can not save himself by being good he needs to accept the gift of Salvation given to us by Christ's death on the cross our Lamb of God. 5. The Doctrine of the Spirit. The Spirit proceeds from the Father and indwells, fills, controls, gifts the believer to build up the body of Christ. 6. The Doctrine of Christ... Jesus is the one true son of God, the only begotten without sin, tested, tempted in all ways yet without sin. 7. The Doctrine of the Church... The church is Christ's bride, a community and fellowship united for the purpose of loving God, and being His witnesses. 8. The Doctrine of End Times Jesus is coming again. He has ascended and we the church must live with this reality as we wait. These include the Scriptures the olivet discourse by Jesus, the books of Ezekiel, Daniel, and Revelation, and proclaim to us the Victorious Jesus! THESE ARE THE ESSENTIALS.
IN NON-ESSENTIALS LIBERTY .... NON ESSENTIALS are our practice and the forms of worship, discipleship, and systems for making disciples. So one person is a vegan, another eats and drinks beer, both love God and have been saved and baptized. One dresses up in a suit, their Sunday best, and another comes relaxed in jeans and sandles. One prefers hymns, and still others prefer modern forms of worship. One wants to experience church and others want traditions to be upheld. In these things you have liberty.
IN ALL THINGS CHARITY. Here we work to maintain unity in the Body of Christ. I give grace to those who worship differently, and I give grace to those who eat differently, and I give grace to those who do not live as I do but are brothers and sisters in Christ. I receive love from those who worship differently. So I give preference to the other... meaning I am willing to see my preference as the weaker of the two positions, and love my brother and do life with them. Protecting the unity of the body verifies to the world that Jesus exists. He exists because people can disagree and continue to love each other. Am I loving my brothers and sisters?
