For Christ has already accomplished the purpose for which the law was given. As a result, all who believe in him are made right with God. Romans 10:4 (NLT)
When it comes to our relationships, we need to learn to walk in God’s blessings and become aware of His ability flowing through us. This ability isn’t something we earn through our actions. It isn’t the result of our intelligence either. We simply need to learn to believe for God’s grace—His amazing power and ability that He’s placed within each one of His kids.
As we mentioned yesterday, the reason why God’s power and ability is within every believer is because Jesus has made us right with God. Today’s verse says that Jesus was the culmination of the law so that there would be righteousness for everyone who believes.
As a believer, you are loved, you are significant, and you’re treasured by God. Growing in this knowledge is incredibly important for your relationships.
You see, if you don’t get your need for unconditional love met by your Father God—chances are you’re going to try to get it from your relationships. You’ll place unrealistic expectations on your family and friends, because they can’t ever love you enough to replace the need you have to be loved by God.
But if you study God’s Word, you’ll discover that God is pouring out his incredible, unconditional, limitless love on you right now, and He always will. The more you grow in your realization of how loved you are, the more love you’ll have to give to those around you, and the better your relationships will become.
