 What
Unity Teaches and Believes
-
Unity is a way
of living based on the teachings of Jesus, the teachings of Truth.
-
Unity is a nondenominational
Christian ministry. Anyone is welcome; no one is required to perform
rites or subscribe to creeds.
-
Unity's purpose
is to nourish the spirit. We do this by applying metaphysical interpretations
of the Bible to provide practical beliefs, works, and actions useful
in improving our daily lives. Unity is practical Christianity; it
is something to do. (Metaphysical means seeing beyond physical expressions
of ideas to understand their spiritual and mental meanings.)
-
Unity believes
GOD is love, all good, forgiving, and the only power and presence
in the universe, source of all life. God's will for everyone is all
good.
-
Unity believes
that Jesus is God's earthly son, the great and divine Teacher and
Way-Shower. We are God's hands, feet, eyes, and ears.
-
Unity is nonjudgmental,
practicing unconditional love and acceptance.
-
Unity affirms
we are all one together in the spirit of God.Spirit, the Christ, is
the eternal, unchanging and indwelling activity of God running through
minds and hearts of people.
-
The higher our
level of consciousness (knowledge, awareness,and accetance of spirit)
the greater and the sooner we experience our divine potential. People
are at different places in their consciousness.
-
Unity states that
people function according to the law of mind action - cause and effect
- giving and receiving. The thoughts we hold, the words we speak,
the actions we take shape our lives and experiences. (Luke 6:38 and
Proverbs 23:7). We are ultimately responsible for our own experiences.
-
Prayers, meditations,affirmations,
and denials, are tools we can use to raise our consciousness and shape
our lives for the better.
-
Unity believes
divine order prevails and ultimately all things work for our good.
-
Unity is loving,
joyous, positive, musical, upbeat, instructive, and uplifting! Such
concerns as hell, damnation, negativity, the devil, evil, unworthiness,
and sin are false beliefs and not present in Unity teachings.
