What’s the point of the relationships in our lives? Genesis 1:26; 31-2:2 shows us that God created relationships for us to be like Him and grow to be more like Him. Healthy relationships display His character and develop His people.

What does Matthew 18:21-35 show us about forgiveness? The parable illustrates the freedom we experience when we release someone from the debt they owe us. Ultimately, by forgiving others and settling relational accounts, we reflect on how Christ forgave us and seek to share that forgiveness and love with others.

What does Ephesians 4:17-19 say about our new life in Christ? It gives us three ways we should live now that we're transformed by Jesus.

1. Remind yourself who you are.

2. Replace old with new, continually.

3. Remember what Christ has done for you.

As people with new lives, we can remember that, “God takes our sins – the past, present, and future, and dumps them in the sea and puts up a sign that says, 'No fishing allowed.'"
