THE RELATIONSHIP EXAM
WEEK 7 - FRIDAY
Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith; examine yourselves!
2 Corinthians 13:5
Throughout Scripture, saints are encouraged to examine themselves. Ways in which to examine oneself may include:
Evaluating your walk and the way with which you conduct yourself. Evaluating your thought life, feelings, and attitudes. Evaluating your relationship with God and others.
God's Priority is People. One of the chief roles of the Holy Spirit is to ready us for the day we will meet Jesus face to face. He readies us by transforming us day by day into the image God created us to mirror—that of His Son.
At the top of God's list of character traits to mold within us is the health of our relationship with others. God prioritizes healthy relationships to the degree that Jesus said that if we become aware of a relationship problem while worshiping, He'd rather we go repair it and be reconciled and then return to finish worshiping.
Frequent questions:
- How do you build relationships?
- What do people value most about working with you?
- What one word would people use to describe you?
A 'strengthening relationship' title is a skill set every leader needs to learn.
