Relationships so often are God’s chosen construction site for developing Christ’s likeness in us. We grow in grace, love, forgiveness, and forbearance not by studying character, but by trusting the Lord in our relationships with each other. “… be of the same mind in the Lord.” Philippians 4:2 (NKJV) In ancient Philippi, two prominent women in the church were at odds with one another. Their conflict threatened their own spiritual growth, and the church’s ability to reach its community for Christ. The Apostle Paul begged these women to imitate Christ’s own humility in their relationship with each other. And he called on others in the church to help them.Still today, if there is to be peace among sinners saved by grace, peacemakers are needed to pave the way.
