Given that God works from the internal first, I think how we get along with others is often dependent on this view that God's work is often unseen at first. "Get along with everyone, so long as it depends on you" is a good verse to consider. We are responsible for our own behavior, not the behavior of others. However, the first quote offered here is unbiblical at best - I like what Robin said about walking in the Light and how we do this imperfectly. And sometimes difficult people in our lives are that way because they have misunderstood or have not accepted God's forgiveness fully. We must choose how we treat people, but it is not a measure of a 'bad' relationship with God if we do this badly - we might just not have learned God's wisdom in this area yet. I suppose this is the difference between judging rightly, and being judgmental.
Just a Philomath...
