There is one Lord, one faith, and one baptism uniting all believers.

What Does Ephesians 4:5 Mean?

Paul continues the litany of unity: 'One Lord, one faith, one baptism.' There is one Lord whom all confess, one faith by which all trust Him, one baptism by which all are marked as His. These shared foundations bind the church into a single people across every difference.

These are not many roads to many gods but one Lord received by one faith and confessed in one baptism. The simplicity is striking. Whatever distinguishes believers from one another, what unites them is far greater: the same Lord Jesus, trusted and confessed by all who are His.
