Get Along

1Peter 3:8 Finally, all of you, live in harmony with one another; be sympathetic, love as brothers, be compassionate and humble.

"Living in harmony" here is literally "being of the same mind". Living in harmony is largely a function of practicing humility. Humility is prerequisite to being sympathetic and compassionate as such requires one to see things from someone else's perspective. Even concerning arguments, if one side has demonstrated that they have seriously considered the other person's point of view, though disagree with it, that goes a long way to settling differences. Compassion also invokes good works. Those without compassion are often at a loss as to what good works to do. Such people require some kind of personal incentive to do good. But a compassionate person does good from the heart. Note the example of the good Samaritan of Luke 10:30-37 "But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was. And when he saw him, he had compassion." Like Jesus "when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd." Mt 9:36 Compassion also invokes forgiveness, "Then the master of that servant was moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt." Mt 18:27 Developing compassion may require we go through similar experiences. Even of Jesus it was said, "Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted." Heb 2:18 Thus living in harmony is not simply agreeing to a doctrinal statement. It involves an attitude of love and humanity.
