(see a great song by Robin Weston, in my comment box)
Church unity is not just a lull in congregational bickering, or a moment when people join together rather than following their own dreams.
It is a lifestyle of love, respect, and single mindedness, rooted and grounded in Jesus, empowered by the Holy Spirit, guided by the Holy Bible, within the local body, as they march forward in victory.
It is submission to one another, concern for one another, encouraging one another, love for one another.
It is trust and submission when the pastor tells his people to get a mouthful of water because they are going to charge the gates of hell.
It is when each one fulfills his responsibilities without complaining or fault finding or resentment or selfishness.
It is rare but it is real. Few ever experience Biblical unity, but some do. It only happens when the more seasoned believers meet the criteria. Remember, the new converts follow in the steps of the mature believers.
NOTICE THE LINES AND THE BIBLE REFERENCES
As you can see, the lines in this song are based on God's revelation and contains a treasure trove of truth. Robin did a great job putting this song together, as she has with so many other songs
As i said, not everyone has experienced this heavenly attitude as the norm in life, but we can. It takes Divine intervention and human submission for the miracle of church wide unity to prevail. This is true for family unity as well.
