Relationships are important. God created us to be in relationships, and He works in our lives through them. Our relationships at home, at work, and with our communities are far from perfect. But God, in His divine wisdom, provided a blueprint in how we are to relate with others: in submission and reverence to Christ (Ephesians 5:21).
Despite the physical distance, we can still build strong relationships with those around us. And this is possible through our relationship with Christ, which affects the way we treat and relate with others. Because of Christ, we can experience lasting, thriving, and fulfilling relationships, where we do and share life together.
