You asked the following question. “What does Paul means when he says believers should be 'knit together in love?'" Colossians 2:2 To comprehend Paul’s message, it’s essential to grasp the love that unites God’s children into a single mind, a unified person, all working in harmony. When an individual becomes a child of God, the Holy Spirit resides within them, transforming them into his image. The Holy Spirit imparts within your heart the fruits of its divine nature. Galatians 3:5: But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. It is the love bestowed upon us by the Holy Spirit that binds us all together. I hope this explanation has provided you with a clearer understanding of Paul’s message.
