Family of Faith
“So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.”
(Galatians 6:10, ESV)
Galatians 6:1-10 highlight the ideal of what it means to be a follower of Christ. We live in a world that has lost what it means to be family. With all the paths of connection, people are more isolated than ever. True relationships are at best limited and at worst non-existent for many lives. Marriage is a commitment made out of an idea of love yet tend to be superficial. How do we bear one another's burdens when we do not trust anyone enough to truly share our lives? The goal of our faith is that we are interconnected in faith and that, as brothers and sisters in Christ, we see each other as family. Family, in the truest sense, is interconnected and supportive of one another seeking to assist in our faith journey.
