they
also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me.

So the visible unity of believers should be a prime factor in our reaching the lost. Sadly this unity is rare as it comes at some cost.

Ephesians 4:
1
I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with
which you were called,
2 with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another
in love,
3
endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

"In Christ", is working together with other believers to "magnify the Lord."

Psalm 34:3. Oh, magnify the Lord with me,
And let us exalt His name together.

Ephesian 2:
4
But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us,
5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ
(by grace you have been saved),
6 and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenlies in Christ Jesus,
7 that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in kindness
toward us in Christ Jesus.

John 17:
20
I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through
their word;

21 that they all may be one, as You, Father, in Me, and I in You; that they
also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me.

22 And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one
just as We are one:

23 I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that
the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have
loved Me.
My pastor once said to ‘stop magnifying ‘that’ sin...magnify The Lord. He’s bigger than that’ :)
