True Kinship

⏱️ < 1 minute.

Greetings beloved family in Christ,

Today, let’s find encouragement in how our relationships in Christ transcend our earthly bonds:

For whoever does the will of God, he is My brother and sister and mother.

Mark 3:35

Jesus’ response reframes the disciples’ understanding of familial ties, emphasizing that true kinship lies in obedience to God, not just blood relations.

In times of disappointment and loneliness, knowing that our spiritual family transcends earthly limitations brings solace and strength.

To nurture these relationships:

1. Invest intentionally: Foster connections within the body of Christ.
2. Protect diligently: Be vigilant against attacks on these bonds by the adversary.
3. Cultivate growth: Strive to deepen and strengthen these connections, enabling mutual support and spiritual growth.

Let’s all endeavor to fortify our relationships in Christ,

Your brother in Christ, Paul.
