This document discusses high definition relationships and outlines four things that are important to understand about them: 1. God created people for relationships. The Bible says it's not good for people to live alone. 2. People must risk connecting with others. Jesus taught that taking risks can lead to more than ever dreamed. The early church connected deeply and their numbers grew. 3. Healthy relationships require sharing life and faith with others. The Bible teaches that sharing life with friends and neighbors is important, as is sharing one's faith. 4. Relationships require work to resolve conflicts and show love through actions rather than just words. The Bible teaches the importance of resolving conflicts quickly with others.
