A believer with the fruit of the Spirit is certainly one with all the believers in the body, and a joy for all people to be around.

All believers are members of the same body and should be viewed and treated that way.

Consider the fruit of the Spirit; that is what the Christian life should be.

Believers usually only have fellowship with those in their own church or group. This segregation is divisive. Intentional actions are needed to go visit and fellowship with believers that are not in their regular group. This greeting will grow the one fellowship of Jesus Christ which is the oneness of the body.

Each member of the Lord's body is directly connected and answers only to the Lord Jesus as the Head.

Today, most believers are segregated and isolated in their church or in their home. If believers accept Paul's directive to seek out other believers and greet them, the Lord will have a way to build up the assembly, His body. Although there are so many churches and Christian groups today, believers can still heed Paul's command to go and greet fellow believers in other groups. In God's eyes all of His children are in one family, in the one body of Christ. As such, believers should not acknowledge any division.
