Relationship as God Intended

From Genesis 2:18-25, we see relationship as God intended it to be. The pagans of the time believed that men and women were created for conflict and today's society believes that we cannot escape our instincts, but God created man and woman as a picture of himself. God is relational and covenantal, and we can see this in his relationship to Israel. We see it fully in Jesus Christ, who died to sanctify his people, the Church.
