Philippians 4:2-3

2 And now I want to plead with those two women, Euodia and Syntyche.
Please, because you belong to the Lord, settle your disagreement.
3 And I ask you, my true teammate, to help these women,
for they worked hard with me in telling others the Good News.
And they worked with Clement and the rest of my co-workers,
whose names are written in the Book of Life.
(NLT)

Because we belong to the Lord and that God tells us to forgive each other because He forgave us, therefore we are to settle our disagreements with each other. We are not to hold grudges but to humble ourselves before God and to work things out. Disagreements will arise from time to time but God instructs us to work through the issues and come to a conclusion or agreement. And while we are working through the issues we need to also be praying and seeking God on the matters at hand. Do not make the mistake of leaving God out of the picture.

We are teammates with one another and we are to help those in disagreements work together with the Lord to work through the issues. A family works things out. We are all to be working together in sharing the Good News of the gospel therefore we need to be united together in Christ for Satan wants nothing short of us fighting and squabbling with each other. We are to band together with Christ to fight against the enemy because our names are written in the Book of Life and we are marked by the Holy Spirit as His children. So be on the alert, for the enemy is watching for an opportunity to try to separate us from one another.
Bond with Christ and each other.
