Working Together

1 Peter 3:8-"Live in harmony with one another; be sympathetic, love as brothers, be compassionate and humble."

Unity and harmony are no accident! They happen because of intention and submission. But more than just states of being, they are commanded by God. How do we have unity and harmony? Peter reminds us that we must have three commitments 1) actively share concern with those who grieve; 2) share love just like a healthy family does; and 3) show compassion rather than arrogance as we deal with others failures toward us. By doing this we are demonstrating a Christ-like attitude and spirit. Which is what brings unity and harmony with fellow believers and others.
