If we are to live with each other in the Christian community, we must be committed to each other with more than mere tolerance. Our church family must be bound together with a supernatural bond, a bond of kindness and forgiveness forged in the furnace of God's fiery wrath upon our sins in Christ on the Cross. This is the Gospel, and it effects change, not just in behavior but also in our relationships. Behavior and relationships go hand in hand. How we behave toward others reveals what we think of them.
