Ask yourself this question; How are my relationships? None us can make it on our own! God designed one another relationships for a reason and he wants us to have deep brotherly relationships to help us spiritually!
Of course not all relationships will be at the same intimacy level and God does not expect us to have cookie cutter relationships! The bottom line is, we need to build relationships that allow the spirit to move in our lives. The goal is to help each other to stay faithful and get to heaven!
Proverbs 27:17
Our number one priority should be our relationship with God but we cannot neglect the power of God that works through others in our relationships. Sometimes other people can see us better than we see our selves.
Deuteronomy 6:4
Again we need a personal relationship with God.
Do you have prayer time with God every day? If Jesus is to be lord of your life then you need to be spending time in prayer everyday!
Do you ready the bible everyday? We eat food every day to survive and our spiritual health is no different. We need the word of God to sustain us and allow us to grow spiritually!
Ephesians 5:22-30
How is our relationship with our Spouse? Are we fulfilling this scripture with our relationship with our spouse?
Husbands do you love your wife the way Christ loved the church? Our responsibility is to present our bride radiant and blemish free!
1 Timothy 5:8
God wants us to be connected to our physical families and provide for them
Deuteronomy 6:7
We need tone in a teaching mode with our kids so that we can impress upon them the word of God. Providing for your family means so much more than just worldly physical needs. Their spiritual health is important in your relationship with them.
With regard to the relationships in the church we need to be open with each other. We need to confess sin to each other so we can help each other?
Encouragement should be another key factor in building deep and close relationships. The bible also talks about practicing hospitality with our brothers and sisters. Invite people into your home. Allow people to get close to you and to see your life on a daily basis.
With these key principals you will have Godly relationships with you physical family and your spiritual family.
