In 1939, German theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer wrote a book called Life Together. In the book, he explored the gap between the body of Christ as it was described in the book of Acts, which he called a "community of love," and the way it looks to the modern world around us.

So far we've look at the first two: living a transformed life, and included in authentic community. Make sure you check those out if you haven't done so already.
