How the gospel transforms the ways we relate to others
Relationships are both a blessing and a challenge, if most of us are honest. We love people, and we want love from them, yet we also avoid, use, abuse, and fear each other; that’s just for starters!
There is great hope, recalibration and practical guidance for us as we look to God’s word to understand his design for our relationships, and how sin has impacted our hearts and those of every person we are connected to.
There is great comfort and motivation to learn as we dive into the Scriptures to understand, why and how we all face “common to all” (see 1 Cor. 10:13) temptations in our relationships with people, and how the gospel gives us everything we need in Christ to love, serve, know, and delight in one another.
