[1154.52 --> 1155.72] of the Greek word,
[1156.04 --> 1157.84] all along, each other.
[1158.12 --> 1159.60] Everything is done, all along.
[1160.26 --> 1162.60] And it's why the brother and sister
[1162.60 --> 1164.18] matter so much to each of us,
[1164.22 --> 1165.06] or at least should.
[1165.58 --> 1166.88] You care, and here's a bunch of
[1166.88 --> 1168.84] one another from the Scriptures.
[1169.24 --> 1170.42] You care for one another.
[1170.82 --> 1171.56] Love one another.
[1172.14 --> 1173.80] Pursue one another's good.
[1173.88 --> 1174.38] I like that one.
[1175.08 --> 1176.14] Bear with one another.
[1176.30 --> 1177.12] Yeah, sometimes that too.
[1177.50 --> 1178.54] Be kind to one another.
[1178.66 --> 1179.32] Forgive one another.
[1179.32 --> 1180.18] Submit to one another.
[1180.34 --> 1182.06] Live in harmony with one another.
[1182.60 --> 1184.14] This is life in the Spirit.
[1184.76 --> 1186.42] This reflects the kingdom of God
[1186.42 --> 1187.02] come and coming.
[1190.14 --> 1191.24] Because we are members
[1191.24 --> 1192.88] of one another.
[1194.18 --> 1196.20] The Spirit unifies us
[1196.20 --> 1197.78] and empowers us.
[1199.00 --> 1199.72] Gordon Fee says,
[1199.72 --> 1201.86] we find our individual significance
[1201.86 --> 1203.50] as we live it out
[1203.50 --> 1206.76] with people whom we may not always like
[1206.76 --> 1208.22] or feel comfortable with,
[1208.40 --> 1209.34] but whom we love
[1209.34 --> 1211.26] in a new kind of way.
[1211.26 --> 1212.26] joy and peace.
[1212.26 --> 1219.76] And that's joy and peace found in the Spirit
[1219.76 --> 1221.04] as expressed in relationships.
[1222.30 --> 1223.34] And Paul says,
[1223.54 --> 1225.18] they will be one in Christ.
[1225.48 --> 1225.88] Jew,
[1226.48 --> 1227.00] Gentile,
[1227.78 --> 1228.08] free,
[1228.50 --> 1228.94] slave,
[1229.46 --> 1229.78] male,
[1230.18 --> 1230.56] female,
[1231.46 --> 1231.88] one.
[1231.88 --> 1233.44] God's vision for the church
[1233.44 --> 1234.98] is not that those
[1234.98 --> 1235.64] who are comfortable
[1235.64 --> 1236.14] with one another
[1236.14 --> 1236.78] may be one,
[1237.12 --> 1238.66] but that those who differ,
[1238.82 --> 1239.68] those who disagree,
[1240.04 --> 1240.86] those who live differently
[1240.86 --> 1242.84] may be one through the Spirit.
[1244.46 --> 1245.74] That's God's kingdom come
[1245.74 --> 1246.82] and coming.
[1246.82 --> 1248.62] In fact,
[1248.86 --> 1250.04] this embrace of one another
[1250.04 --> 1251.00] was to be the brand
[1251.00 --> 1252.34] that identified
[1252.34 --> 1253.14] and distinguished
[1253.14 --> 1254.18] the Christian movement,
[1254.86 --> 1256.30] pointing to the kingdom
[1256.30 --> 1256.96] come and coming.
[1257.98 --> 1258.58] And sadly,
[1258.76 --> 1259.26] too often,
[1259.40 --> 1260.42] we don't reflect the kingdom
[1260.42 --> 1260.86] very well.
[1261.10 --> 1262.08] And there's too much fighting
[1262.08 --> 1262.52] going on,
[1262.58 --> 1263.26] there's too much arguing
[1263.26 --> 1263.82] going on,
[1263.92 --> 1265.76] and we create little growth
[1265.76 --> 1267.54] because we aren't working
[1267.54 --> 1268.68] in cooperation
[1268.68 --> 1269.56] with the Spirit,
[1269.80 --> 1270.60] we're working out
[1270.60 --> 1271.32] our own agendas
[1271.32 --> 1271.92] too often.
[1271.92 --> 1277.32] The Holy Spirit
[1277.32 --> 1278.34] says,
[1278.50 --> 1279.64] I want you to see
[1279.64 --> 1280.42] the way I see.
[1281.52 --> 1282.36] I want you to look
[1282.36 --> 1283.20] at life through
[1283.20 --> 1285.82] my power
[1285.82 --> 1286.70] and my eyes.
[1288.14 --> 1288.38] Yeah,
[1288.52 --> 1289.62] and then we see our sins
[1289.62 --> 1290.62] and our need for grace.
[1291.14 --> 1292.16] And then we are united
[1292.16 --> 1292.78] in Christ
[1292.78 --> 1294.82] and so changing us
[1294.82 --> 1296.06] at the center of our being
[1296.06 --> 1297.30] to become more like Christ,
[1297.62 --> 1298.52] unified in Him.
[1298.88 --> 1300.28] Christians need not ask
[1300.28 --> 1300.90] whether they have
[1300.90 --> 1301.54] the Holy Spirit.
[1301.54 --> 1303.50] J.I. Packer writes,
[1303.74 --> 1304.48] every Christian
