  3. Blest be the tie that binds our hearts in Christian love; The fellowship of kindred minds is like to that above. Verse 1

  4. The tie that binds is not an earthly relationship, but love (Col. 3:14) • Love that is a sign to all (Jn. 13:34-35) • Love that sacrifices (Jn. 15:17) • Love from God (1 Thess. 4:9; 1 Jn. 3:11,16,23; 4:7,11,12; 2 Jn. 5) • Love that is fervent (1 Pet. 1:22) Christian Love

The tie that binds is a fellowship of minds thinking alike (Rom. 12:16; 15:5; 1 Cor. 1:10; 2 Cor. 13:11; Phil. 2:2,5; 4:2) • Fellowship in benevolence (2 Cor. 8:4), in preaching (Phil. 1:5; 4:15), in sufferings (Phil. 3:10; 4:14), in righteous living (1 Jn. 1:3,6,7) • Love and fellowship are tied together (Phil. 2:1) Fellowship of Kindred Minds

  6. The tie that binds Christians together is like the unity between the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit (Jn. 10:30; 17:22) • One in purpose, in revelation, in action, in love (Jn. 3:34; 5:17-19; 9:4) That Fellowship Above

  9. Because God rules over all he is able to hear and answer our prayers through Jesus Christ (Phil. 4:6-7; Heb. 4:16; 7:25; 8:1) • Ardent prayers are passionate, fervent, zealous prayers (Acts 12:5; Jas. 5:17) Ardent Prayers

  14. When we asunder part, It gives us inward pain; But we shall still be joined in heart, And hope to meet again. Verse 4

  15. Christians will part from each other in death, but they will be reunited in heaven (1 Thess. 4:13-18) • Christians parted from one another are still bound in spirit (Col. 2:5) Parting and Reuniting

  16. The blessings of being united together comes from being a baptized Christian (Acts 2:38,41-42,47) • The blessings of being united together comes from being a faithful Christian (Acts 4:23; 8:24; 9:28) • Do you experience the “tie that binds”? Blessed Be the Tie That Binds
