<p><em>Romans 15:5</em> is a call for unity in the church. It is a call to be on the same page with other believers who are guided by the teachings <em>of Christ</em>.</p>
<p>The verse begins with the mention of the <em>&ldquo;God of patience and comfort.&rdquo;</em> This expression refers to the God who is patient and comforts his children at all times. The next message is that God wants to give <em>&ldquo;the like-mindedness in Christ Jesus.&rdquo;</em> That is, God wants the church to have a collective conscience, so that everyone feels that Christ is their guide.</p>
