11 Finally, brothers, rejoice. Aim for restoration, comfort one another,agree with one another, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you. 12 Greet one another with a holy kiss. 13 All the saints greet you. 14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. (II Corinthians 13)
The Corinthians had a problem with oneness. They all had their little cliques; they had a tendency toward self promotion; they treated one another as nothing special. Paul had addressed many of the core issues and symptoms of their divisiveness, and now looks toward their future. What, above all else, did he prescribe? Overkill on kindness; putting each other above one another; setting a tone of love, grace and affection demonstrated toward us by the Triune God. When He has gone to such an extent to provide so much for us, we should make every effort to preserve and entrich our relationship in Christ. Go all out today.
