God laid the foundation of human existence in the fabric of relationships with vertical and lateral components for survival and well-being. The vertical component establishes the spiritual connection with God the Creator, from which man derives the energy for the lateral component. The lateral component establishes living paradigms and outlines healthy development and maintenance rules, obligations, and responsibilities. Therefore, whether vertically or laterally, human relationships are designed to be a two-way street, requiring reciprocal obligation or joint action.
In "A Relational Fellowship: Pursuing a Covenant Relationship with God", the author inspires the reader to embrace new birth as the sovereign act of God's grace that breaks the grip of sin on the believer to release him from human depravity so that he could share in God's nature to serve Him acceptably and profitably.
The author conveys that a relational fellowship with God goes beyond believing in Him to being in accord with Christ in all viewpoints, interests, desires, and conduct.
