Attaining God's Peace (2)

Philippians 4:2 NASB95

I urge Euodia and I urge Syntyche to live in harmony in the Lord.

Get a Proper Perspective of the Church:

B. Practically A: Learn how to get along.

The antonym of harmony is clashing, which would describes Euodia’s and Syntyche’s relationship. They clashed because they were at odds with each other. Paul doesn’t specify what the disagreement was, which means principlally that no matter what it is that divides us, we need to overcome it and learn to get along.

I’ve heard preachers say that there’s some people you’ll get along with and others you won’t. It’s just life. But in the church, the bride of Christ, that’s unacceptable. The people of God need to learn to get along with everybody regardless of social class (rich or poor), racial classes, gender and nationality.
