God longs for every possible relationship.

God loves us so much, and in so many different ways, He desires greatly to have every possible relationship with His people.

When you get saved…

You are born into God’s family. So you are related “by blood” to God. You choose God.

(John 1:13, etc.)

God adopts you into His family. Adoption involves the parents choosing the child, whereas giving birth does not. God chooses you. (Ephesians 1:5, etc.)

As a child of God, you become a sibling of the Son of God, Jesus.

You become a friend of Jesus (John 15:14-15).

You, as part of the church, will get married to Jesus. In marriage, both choose each other. (Romans 7:4, etc.)
