Matthew 22:37-39; Genesis 3:1

“Respecting the preciousness of others”

One of the amazing things about the Bible …

Healthy relationships are marked by:

1.  A desire to deal with problems directly and biblically.

            1 Corinthians 6:1-6 --  a church gone bad

                        Matthew 5:23-25

                        Matthew 18:15-17

2.  An attitude of care and respect.

            1 Corinthians 6:7-8 -- a church gone bogus

                        Hebrews 12:14

3.  An awareness of our sinfulness and God’s unbiased goodness.

            1 Corinthians 6:9-11 -- a church gone biased

What happens when our lives are marked by these qualities?

Acts 2:42-47

• We are passionate about the things of God

• We are passionate about loving one another

• We are passionate about sharing Christ
