Created for Relationship
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
GENESIS 1.1
The first verse of the Bible implies an important truth that will affect your walk of grace as much as anything possibly could.
The word God is plural in the original Hebrew text. In the very first verse of the Bible there is an immediate implied reference to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Why is this triune aspect of God important? Because it sets forth from the beginning that our God is first and foremost relational. The love that exists between the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is the most important and foundational truth we can speak about God. John said, “God is love” (1 John 4:8).
It is only when we understand the loving interaction between the Father, Son, and Spirit that we will find our walk of grace headed in the right direction.
You have been created to live in relationship. The most important relationship you will experience is to be a child of God.
Beyond that, your life is interconnected with others. Value the relationships you have in this world. Nurture them, knowing that they find their roots in God Himself.
