1st John 1: 7
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship one with another and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin.

If we all live our lives according to the word of God, then we will be in a right relationship with Him and a right relationship with each other. We will be on one accord. We will have fellowship with one another, share what we have with each other and take care of each other as we would take care of ourselves. In other words, we would truly do unto others as we would have them do unto us.

Love Your Neighbour as Yourself

Matthew 19: 19b
Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

 

Do unto Others

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you

Matthew 7: 12
Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you, do ye even so to them…

 

All Things Common

Acts 2: 44 -45
And all that believed were together and had all things common; and sold their possessions and goods and parted them to all men, as every man hath need.

 

Observation

It is impossible to have fellowship without relationship and there can be no relationship if there is nothing in common. Many Christians do not get along well with each other. They attend the same worship services but they are not on one accord. Part of the reason for this is that your relationship with God is personal. This means that everyone must spend time alone with God in His word and in prayer, so that they can develop a relationship with Him and then they can have fellowship with Him. Once you learn how to have fellowship with God then you can have fellowship with your fellow Christians.
