A Family's Generosity

We are said to relate to God in many ways. He is, simply, our God and Creator, the great Potter, who forms us and fashions us. He is our King, and we are the citizens of his realm. Yet, God is also (amazingly) our Father, who provides and prtoects us against the hard that others might wish to inflict. He is our brother, who lays down his life that we might be co-heirs with him. So, then, we are family as well, bonded by the blood of Jesus together in covenant. This train of thought has many implications for how we are to love and take care of one another. Here we think through the applications of this text.
