I was reading today in Genesis 11:6, about the Tower of Babel.

“And the LORD said, 'Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language, and this is only the beginning of what they will do. And nothing that they propose will now be impossible for them.”

And because the people were united in purpose and language to do what was evil in the Lord's sight, He confused their language, and dispersed them throughout the earth.

Fast-forward to the book of John, and Jesus' high priestly prayer:

“The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one, I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me.” 

( John 17:22-23)

And to the book of Revelation, where you see the multitudes gathering to worship the Lamb with one heart and voice, proclaiming, 

“Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!...Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God forever and ever! Amen.”  

(Revelation 7:10;12)

What was lost because of the fall, is regained in Jesus! A oneness among His children, united in purpose to WORSHIP the one true God!

May He say again, but of His church, our families, and our marriages:

“'Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language, and this is only the beginning of what they will do. And nothing that they propose will now be impossible for them.”

By the grace and strengthening of our God and to His glory!
