In view of the ultimate command—both in the Old and New Testament—it’s clear that relationships are a big deal to God. And what makes every relationship work is love, which isn’t always seen in our sin nature. However, our sinful nature can be changed to be like Jesus’ nature—which is loving—but that requires us to let the Holy Spirit change the way we think about others.
