How Good and Pleasant When God's People Live in Unity
- It is good for our honor and comfort.
- It brings constant delight to those who live in unity.
- The pleasantness of unity is compared to the holy anointing oil.
Unity is the fruit of the Spirit, the proof of our union with Christ, and adorns his gospel.
- Unity is profitable as well as pleasing; it brings blessings numerous as the drops of dew.
- Unity cools the scorching heat of men's passions, as the dew cools the air and refresh the earth.
- Unity moistens the heart, and makes it fit to receive the good seed of the word, and to make it fruitful.
See the proof of the excellency of united brotherly love:
- Where brothers and sisters live together in unity, the Lord commands the blessing. God commands the blessing; man can only ask for a blessing.
- Believers that live in love and peace, shall have the God of love and peace with them now and in heaven, in the world of endless love and peace.
- May all who love the Lord have patience and forgive one another; as God, for Christ's sake, has forgiven them.
