K.P. Yohannan emphasizes the significance of unity among believers, drawing parallels from the Old Testament where Elijah repaired the altar with 12 stones representing the tribes of Israel, highlighting that all were needed for God's power to be displayed.

Yohannan stresses that the kingdom of God thrives on relationships and love, as demonstrated by Jesus' teachings on gathering in His name and loving one another. He concludes that disunity stems from a lack of love, and by embracing Jesus' command to love, believers can witness the kingdom of God manifest in their lives.

Gill points out that this commandment of love is essential for all Christians, regardless of their spiritual maturity, as they are all recipients of God's abundant mercy. The sermon underscores the importance of recognizing our shared forgiveness and extending that grace to others.
