Transformed: Relational Health
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
Romans 12:2a NIV
Be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you.
Ephesians 4:32 NLT
Our relational health is transformed when we are…
1) Kind
Don’t you see how wonderfully kind, tolerant, and patient God is with you? Does this mean nothing to you? Can’t you see that his kindness is intended to turn you from your sin?
Romans 2:4 NLT
“Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, to all the people you can, as long as ever you can!”
John Wesley
2) Tenderhearted
Finally, all of you, have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind.
1 Peter 3:8 ESV
3) Forgiving
Throw off your old sinful nature and your former way of life, which is corrupted… Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes. Put on your new nature, created to be like God, truly righteous and holy.”
Ephesians 4:22-24 NLT
