The Bible Transforms and Unites

  • PSALM 133:1-3: Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brethren to dwell together in unity! 2 It is like the precious oil upon the head, Running down on the beard, The beard of Aaron, Running down on the edge of his garments. 3 It is like the dew of Hermon, Descending upon the mountains of Zion; For there the Lord commanded the blessing—Life forevermore.

Emphasis: Unity produces an atmosphere and ambiance through which the blessings of God flow.
