Text: Genesis 1:26-28, 2:15-25

 

God created us from a relationship for relationships that create.

 

Marriage is the most profound human relationship that we can have, but it is not the only human relationship.  As we lay a biblical foundation for marriage we must wrestle with the broader question, “Why do we need relationships at all?”  The Bible answers that we were created as God’s representatives to be God’s representatives in the world.  Properly representing God means displaying his relational nature.  God hardwired us for relationships because in relationships we reflect and glorify him.
