Key to building Biblical Relationship
8 Dec 2006
Nothing is more important than the relationships in our lives. True fulfillment lies not in individualism but in sharing life with others. Being part of the community called “church” is not about being more religious; it’s about being fully relational and helping others find the love they’re longing for.
Cultivate Community
True fulfillment lies not in individualism but in sharing life with others.
Genesis 2:18; Acts 2:42–47
God created us to have meaningful and fulfilling relationships. Being part of the community called “church” is not about being more religious; it’s about being fully relational and helping others find the love they’re longing for.
Be Full of Grace
God calls us to offer forgiveness and mercy to the people in our lives.
Ephesians 4:32; Luke 6:27–36
Our closest relationships (family and close friends) need to become “grace-based” for us to experience the fulfillment God means us to have.
Offer Hospitality to Everyone
We serve Christ directly when we open our hearts to strangers.
Romans 12:13; 1 Peter 4:9; Matthew 25:34–40
God wants us to relate to the people who are not close to us (most neighbors and strangers) based on who they really are and not just as objects we have to deal with.
