The sacred union with Christ will unite the brethren in the most endearing bonds of Christian fellowship. Their hearts will be touched with divine compassion one for another. "God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him." "He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him." Coldness, variance, strife, is entirely out of place among the disciples of Christ. They have accepted the one faith. They have joined to serve the one Lord, to endure in the same warfare, to strive for the same object, and to triumph in the same cause. They have been bought with the same precious blood, and have gone forth to preach the same message of salvation; and how out of harmony with these facts is disunion and contention among brethren. "This is my commandment," said Jesus, "that ye love one another, as I have loved you."

Det hellige samfund med Kristus vil forene brødrene med det kristne fællesskabs ømmeste bånd. Deres hjerter vil være fulde af guddommelig kærlighed til hinanden. "Gud er kærlighed; og han der bror i kærlighed bor i Gud, og Gud i ham." "Han der elsker sin bror bliver i lyset, og han har ingen anledning til at snuble." Kulde, uoverensstemmelse og strid passer sig ikke blandt Kristi disciple. De har antaget en tro. De har sluttet sig sammen om at tjene en Herre, gennemgå den samme kamp, stræbe efter det samme mål og sejre i den samme sag. De er blevet købt med det samme dyrebare blod og er gået ud for at prædike det samme budskab om frelse; og hvor uharmonisk er denne uenighed og stridighed blandt brødre dog ikke. "Og dette befaler jeg jer," sagde Jesus, "at I elsker hinanden, ligesom jeg har elsket jer."
