Healthy Christian fellowship is marked by people who are thankful, prayerful, and joyful about each other because of the gospel. In a day and age where people are divided, Christians need to be different. Even under persecution, Paul expressed these marks of unity because of his great fellowship with the Philippian church. Their relationship sets an example to us of how we are to live in special unity with one another. In our divided world, this local church must partner in the gospel with gratitude, prayer, and joy.
