"[God's] unchanging plan has always been to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ."
"I am writing to you... [so] you will know how to live in the family of God. That family is the church of the living God... the support and foundation of the truth."
"So now you... are no longer visitors or strangers. Now you are citizens together with God's holy people. You belong to God's family."
"You are members of God's very own family... and you belong in God's household with every other Christian."
"In Christ's body we're all connected to each other."
"I want us to help each other with the faith we have. Your faith will help me, and my faith will help you."
"Share each other's troubles and problems, and in this way obey the law of Christ."
"A branch cannot produce fruit if it is severed from the vine, and you cannot be fruitful apart from me. I am the vine and you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. But apart from me you can do nothing."
