How we operate in the world matters. How we associate with one another

(loving our neighbor) should be godly. Paul understands this and delivers

an impassioned letter to his friends and church community in Philippi to

remind them of what he already knows to be true: “If then there is any

encouragement in Christ, any consolation from love, any sharing in the

Spirit, any compassion and sympathy, make my joy complete: be of the same

mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind.” (Phil

2.1-2)
