Every time we live by God's values, our relationships improve. The only relationship with God that works is one that honors Him as Creator, admitting no substitutes. Jesus died on the cross to make this possible. When we trust that another person will not harm us, we both live from a pool of shared values and can enjoy a deepening friendship. Without such assurances we have our guard up constantly and keep score mentally to determine if a relationship is safe and worthwhile.
Vigilance is the product of distrust.
Without trust there is little hope for love. God's 10 words encourage right relationships. These connections become the portals through which we pursue our destiny. Imagine fulfilling God's plan for your life without family, friends or co-workers. If a moral code or value statement could have changed us, Jesus would not have had to come.
