"That they also may be one in us." John 17:21(NKJV)

"Till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ." Ephesians 4:13(NKJV)

"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control, against such there is no law." Galatians 5:22-23(NKJV)

We were created for a relationship with God. We were designed to become members of His family and we will never be spiritually well until we do. We become members of His family, not by natural birth, but by a spiritual birth. It is our second birth--being "born again" as we evangelicals say.

When we are born into our earthly families we favor each other, in body, soul and spirit. You've heard the expression, "That boy is becoming more like his daddy every day." The same is true with our spiritual birth. We were created to become more and more like our Savior every day. And that is accomplished through our relationship with God.
