“Love your neighbor as yourself.”
This is the social relationship aspect of who we are. God created us as social beings. I would argue this is one of the key parts of being created in the image of God. Being able to relate to one another and God. God himself relates to himself as a social being in the Trinity. That should freak you out, it’s so big a concept!
God living with God’s self in the existence of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and choosing to invite us into the love and joy of this, as Dallas calls it, “Trinitarian reality.”
How is that for big words? In other words, Father, Son and Holy Spirit are having such a good time living for the sake of each other that God decides, “Let’s create people to share in the joy!”
We are born to party!!
Well, something like that. You live out who you are in the community of whose you are. A vital part of what makes you, “you,” is me. What makes me, “me,” is you.
When was the loneliest time in your life? What happened?
