Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing. (1 Peter 3:8)

Inside church, Christians must associate with as existences need each other. If a Christian leads a religious life without company, he never can get a benefit of his faith. Christians must have a suitable attitude in the church.

Christians ought to have one mind, because believers in church are forming one body. If they don’t have one mind, it is not different from being disabled. When even a part of a body went wrong, the body can’t do normal activities any more. Likewise, if believers don’t make one mind, the church can’t do normal activities. Therefore, believers must have one mind, and live for each other.

For this, the Bible is encouraging us to have compassion one of another. Especially, taking care of the poor is very important work of Christians. If there is no caring among Christians, it can’t be a sound church. It was giving to the needy that the first generation church attach great importance to. Nowadays, many churches are in existence, but they are stingy in sharing with the poor. They are turning away the teaching of the Bible. Remember that we must make an effort to sharing with the poor for growing as a sound church of God.

Fraternal love can be a completion of faith. The boundary of this love is to love even an enemy. It means that there is no person we never can love. If there is hatred in our mind, we must get rid of it immediately, because it can be a poison in our life. Also, we must have the mind of pity. It is the mind of the Lord. He had pity on us, and came to this world with the flesh. We also must have pity toward the souls near to death in the world. When they are in need of us, surely we have to help them. It is a correct posture of who have the mind of God.

Finally, being courteous is important posture. Christians have much less courtesy than our thinking. They strive to keep their doctrine or tradition, but face people around them rudely. Even if one falls short of our standard of faith, we have to lead him kindly. Even if we become a leader of a church, we must have a low posture and serve others. Being courteous is the very virtue Christians ought to have.
