["“You were made for relationships.\n\n“This fact takes us back to the beginning. It asks the basic questions,\n‘Who are we, and how important are our relationships?’ In\nGenesis 2:18, God says that it is not good for man to be ‘alone.’\nThis statement has more to do with God’s design for humanity\nthan Adam’s neediness. God created us to be relational beings because\nhe is a social God. God lives in community within the Trinity\nas Father, Son, and Spirit, and he made humanity in his image.\nGenesis 2 is not speaking primarily to Adam’s experience of being\nlonely as much as it is revealing his nature as the person God created\nhim to be. . . . While Genesis 2 does address how male and\nfemale complement each other, the implications are broader to include\nall human relationships.”\n- Lane and Tripp\n\n“Christ has given to the church a sacred charge. Every member\nshould be a channel through which God can communicate to the\nworld the treasures of His grace, the unsearchable riches of Christ.\nThere is nothing that the Saviour desires so much as agents who\nwill represent to the world His Spirit and His character. There is\nnothing that the world needs so much as the manifestation through\nhumanity of the Saviour's love. All heaven is waiting for men and\nwomen through whom God can reveal the power of Christianity.”\n- Ellen White, Acts of the Apostles, pg. 600", "“You were made for relationships.\n\n“This fact takes us back to the beginning.
