Making Known His Love
Scripture is full of commands to love one another; in fact, all of the law can be summed up in the word love. We are to love one another, and even to love our enemies. God intends for our love not to be merely abstract or sentimental, but real. Three of the images that God uses to describe the church capture aspects of how we are to love one another. The church is God's family, meaning that we have a unity in the gospel that overcomes all of our differences. The church is the body of Christ, meaning that we all have different functions, some of which may be more prominent than others, but all of us are needed, and we all need one another. The church is the temple of God, meaning that we exist for a far greater purpose than ourselves. We must take care of one another; this is commanded, and it provides a witness to the world, but most importantly, we do this because we love one another and we belong to one another.

A Portrait for God's People
Paul instructs Timothy, and through Timothy us, to live in the reality that the church is the household or family of God. As the most common analogy used to describe the church, it is critical that followers of Jesus Christ recognize the incomparable importance of this family in our lives.

A Household of Faith
When Christ is in the home everyone does their part. When more of self is in charge there is a train wreck on the horizon.

What Does Church Have To Do With Family?
If every believer is part of the household of God, how does the traditional nuclear family fit into the picture? Is it wrong or even self-centered to build and maintain close family relationships within the context of the church? We find an answer in Ephesians 5 and 6, where Paul addresses Godly family relationships in connection with God’s eternal purposes for the Church.
