The document discusses why Christians have the "right" to be just Christians. It provides three reasons: 1) It is the right use of the Bible, as shown through several Bible verses that emphasize glorifying God. 2) It is the right placement of glory, with more verses noting that all glory should go to God. 3) It is the right path to unity, with repeated references to a passage in John's Gospel about believers being unified as God and Jesus are unified. The overall message is that Christians have the right approach by focusing on these biblical principles.

believe that thou hast sent me.

they may be one, even as we are one:
