Real Faith Changes Our Relationships

We are called to be like Christ; He is our perfect example and model of how we are to live our lives, even our relationships. Relationships with one another are to be lived out as beloved brothers and sisters, not out of a place of judgment. Judgment of one another’s identity is not ours to be critical of, however, God calls us to make judgments based on each other’s actions, not identity. Unlike our sinful nature judgment, God’s judgment is spiritual, humble, and thorough, and this is how we are called to rebuke and judge one another. We must make judgments only by the Spirit, through the Word, and in community. God has forgiven us all because eternity is at stake.
