    10 Steps to Building Biblical Relationships
 
Psalm 133:1, Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!
 
Relationships can be enriched by exercising God’s Biblical design regarding relations with one another. Therefore, for the next several days, we will be discussing a ten-part series focusing of building blocks to strengthening relationships. Each day we will be concentrating on a different source.
 
It is no mystery that many people today, even we believers struggle with relational problems. Consider for a moment all the people you encounter every day and you will realize how common these problems are. Just this week you may have heard the complaints of a friend who recently argued with their spouse because they have different expectations for their relationships. Or a co-worker who has ridiculed the supervisor over a disagreement concerning how something should be done. Regrettably, it is almost an everyday occurrence to hear of people in quarrels, insults, and disagreements.
 
Unfortunately, even believers have relational problems. Christians who know God personally lack a Biblical understanding concerning building healthy relationships with one another. Today we are witnessing the relationships between Christians behaving more like the relationships between non-Christians.
 
The good news is that we do not have to approach relational problems the same way of unbelievers. We have the Word of God to instruct us in building healthy relationships. The Bible gives us a precise view of God, ourselves, and others, laying the foundation for building Biblical relationships.  God is the architect and His Word are the blueprints.
 
It is imperative that we understand that we must have God as the center or the cornerstone in this building program. Since God is our Creator and of relationships, this going back to the garden (Genesis 2), He is concerned about our relationships. As we practice relational relationships, we demonstrate our love of God through our love of others (I John 3:11, 23; 4:7, 11-12).
