3 Bible Tips: Growing in Unity
1. Envision and treasure unity.
"Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together
in unity!" (Psalm 133:1).
2. Work hard at building unity.
"I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of
the calling with which you were called, with all lowliness and gentleness,
with long-suffering, bearing with one another in love, endeavoring to
keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace" (Ephesians 4:1-3).
3. Like-mindedness comes from all growing to have more of the mind of
Jesus Christ.
"Therefore if there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love,
if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and mercy, fulfill my
joy by being like-minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of
one mind. Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but
in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself.
"Let each one of you look out not only for his own interests, but also
for the interests of others. Let this mind be in you which was also in
Christ Jesus" (Philippians 2:1-5).

2 and the Mind of Christ.
