God’s Spirit compels us to have fellowship and closeness in the Body of Christ. Our relationships in the Church help us to reach perfection in Christ. But there are bumps in the road. If we love God and want to apply ourselves to His way of life, we need to be tenderhearted and forgiving to our brother. As the Scripture says, “be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you” (Ephesians 4:32).
