Requirement is Relationship
Requirement is Relationship

Own no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law. –(Romans 13:8)
We in Christ in the household of faith are not to own no one anything, meaning we are not to be lords, controlling, taskmasters, and spiritual debt collection agency. However, what is required is love.
The household of faith is to be a house of freedom and of willing hearts. The requirement is relationship. The day where we had false relationships with no meaning and no feeling is over. The day of having church without meaningful relationships is over.
If you want to be saved, you must have a true relationship with Christ, if you want to be apart of a church you must have relationship. If you want biblical fellowship there needs to be relationship. If you want the Christian life you must be in relationship.
There cannot be a church without relationships, there cannot be a network without relationships, there cannot be teamwork without relationships, there cannot be a ministry without relationships, and without relationships a vision cannot be run with those who read the vision.
If you want a spiritual faith, you must be a son, if you want to be a father, you need a son, if you want to be a leader, you need people behind you, if you want a leader, and you will need to be a follower. Everything needs a relationship in order to be something.
What is required is love, you can’t have love without relationship, and you can’t have relationship without love. All relationships with heartfelt connection are what Christ wants for us. We are not to be untouchables, but to be in touch with God and His people.
You can’t build a church, a network, and a movement without the requirement of love, without the requirement of relationship. We can’t go to the nations without the bridge working of divine connections into true meaningful relationships.
Sons are for strength, and fathers are for wisdom, and without relationship between both of them, the sons cannot have the wisdom of the fathers, and likewise the fathers cannot have the strength of the sons.
