Every righteous, selfless act of outgoing concern we perform promotes unity within the church, drawing brethren closer together, suggesting a spiritual law: goodness unites people. Realizing that spiritual siblings may encounter friction between one another, the apostle Paul expects us to put up with one another with forbearance and tender-heartedness, for love is the glue that binds God's people. However, exercising outgoing concern for the world does not always yield positive results. Jesus mandated that His followers love one another, becoming at one with each other as God the Father and Christ are unified. Oneness within the body of Christ should be put on a higher priority than it is currently. We must emulate Isaac, who instead of insisting on his property rights, patiently dug a series of wells until Abimelech demanded a treaty with his "enemy." The Moabitess Ruth also practiced virtuous, godly behavior earning the respect of Boaz, leading to a marital union, with a lineage extending to King David and Jesus Christ. Paul and Silas endured persecution and imprisonment, happily singing hymns, leading to the conversion of the jailer and other prisoners. The life of our Savior was characterized as continually going around and doing good. If we desire oneness in God's church, we must follow the example of Christ, whose works served to bring all ultimately into one.
