Christian
Relationships
By Glenn Davis
Like any father, God loves it when His children live in peace with one another. The Bible teaches us about all kinds of Christian relationships. They show us how to deal with our marriage, family, friends, and work. Sometimes we are tempted to think that the Bible only deals with so-called "spiritual" things. We are tempted to discount them as applying only to pastors or super-spiritual people. To believe that the Bible can talk of Christian relationships practically and that God expects obedience from "ordinary" Christians is a new idea to some. Others scoff at the Bible, viewing it as impractical and old-fashioned in the modern world. Nothing could be further from the truth, and Satan is delighted when Christians fall for such lies.

Great peace have they who love your law, and nothing can make them stumble.
I wait for your salvation, O LORD, and I follow your commands.
I obey your statutes, for I love them greatly.
I obey your precepts and your statutes, for all my ways are known to you. [Ps. 119:165-168, NIV]
It
is only as we love and follow the Word of God that nothing can make us
stumble. God's Word gives us wisdom in difficult and trying
times. And it takes faith because, many times, it contradicts what we would naturally like to do in our Christian relationships. [Turn the other cheek. Really? Tell the truth when it might get me fired. Are you kidding?]
Pay attention: I'm teaching you the rules and regulations that God commanded me, so that you may live by them in the land you are entering to take up ownership. Keep them. Practice them. You'll become wise and understanding. When people hear and see what's going on, they'll say, "What a great nation! So wise, so understanding! We've never seen anything like it." [Deut. 4:5-6, The Message]
Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. [Joshua 1:7-8, NIV]
The Armour of God [Eph. 6] is for everyday situations, not the super battles of the elite. Bible lessons which have practical answers are built on an understanding of Biblical law [see Is Biblical Law Relevant Today?]. God explains how life works, including Christian relationships with others. He desires that we be successful in every area of life; however, He knows that can only happen as we follow His Bible lessons for how He designed the universe to operate. The law is actually a gift of God's grace that shows us how things work together for the best results! The Bible is for our benefit, not to hurt or hinder us.
Bible lessons on Christian relationships do not mean we are dealing only with Christians. It answers the question: As a committed disciple of Jesus Christ, how do I handle all my relationships with others - Christian and non-Christian?
Following God's principles in Christian relationships does not mean things will always work as we would like. Sometimes we can make the right decision, and it will cost us our job...or marriage. This is not some magical fantasy land with a happy ending for everyone right now. But as we follow in the footsteps of Christ, our number one relationship [with Him] will be on track, and we will have a heavenly reward regardless of what we see or don't see here on earth.
