Love and unity go together under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. That spirit and purpose in believers happens when we put others first. Selfish ambition divides and destroys that which God desires in an assembly of His people gathered to the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. One mind in chapter 1 binds us together in the faith of the Gospel. The submissive mind in chapter 2 shows how this is accomplished in a practical way. The tender mercies and compassion toward each other keeps us not only with a single mind toward the things of God, but a similar mind, the lowly mind, is not just something I put on or off at my choice, but it focuses my mind on the things of others. A humble mind can unify and build up the saints. We need to be on guard against anything that causes division. The attitude and mind of Christ is used as an example for us.
