A series of 5 Inductive Bible studies leading to group discussion to discover how our various relationships are transformed by our new identity in Christ.
In course 106 we learnt that in the Garden of Eden God placed Man and Woman in an environment where they could enjoy perfect fellowship and the bounty of God’s creation. Mankind’s disobedience to God broke his trust in God’s goodness and provision. Man came to rely on his own capacity to care for himself even at the expense of others around him. Relationships were broken by fear, greed and selfishness. Brother killed brother and the relationship between man and his loving creator became hostile.
Lessons:
- Relationships in the Family
- Relationship to Work and with Co-workers
- Relationship to Wordly Possessions
- Relationship to Civil Authorities
- Relationship to Unbelievers
