Members of the body of Christ make up the Christian community. It involves covenantal responsibility and mutual obligation to one another as members of one body living together before a righteous and holy God. We are to be guided by biblical admonition to demonstrate Christian love and concern for others, honesty, fairness, justice, kindness, forgiveness, mutual edification, self-control, deference, respect, and social responsibility toward one another and all people.
Because the Christian community exists in a social and cultural context, members must be careful to demonstrate civility and respect for those with whom they disagree, while exercising wisdom in evaluating the ideas and activities of others. Christians living in harmony share a deep concern for the body of Christ, defer to one another, reason together, and express genuine Christian love. In fundamentals there must be unity, in non-essentials there may be liberty, yet in all there must be charity as we build for the Lord!
