Designed for Relationships

 

God didn’t create us to live in isolation—He designed us for relationships. We were hardwired to connect with God and with each other. And when we experience connections through music and hymns, or bible study and daily devotions, together we experience shalom (peace and wholeness)—the flourishing life.

 

Here’s the problem: Sin fractures our relationships with both God and others. The result is alienation, suspicion, insecurity, and hostility. No wonder the world’s such a broken place.

 

But when we believe the gospel (i.e., that Jesus is Lord and Savior), we’re reconciled to God and to one another. God adopts us—He becomes our Father, and we become a family! Then, the Holy Spirit renews us and teaches us how to experience relationships as God always intended.
