Even though love emanates from God and loving God is the greatest commandment, love doesn’t stop there. God expects us to live out our faith in the context of community, in relationships with other people. Within this faith community, this kingdom of love, we are brothers and sisters and share a certain kind of equality before God. This is not a place for rankings or for trying to get ahead. Moreover, since living out our lives in the context of community is God’s expectation for us, pursuing dating relationships to the exclusion of other relationships and friendships is neither Biblical nor healthy. Jesus said that people would know if we are his followers if we love each other (John 13:35). This is a challenge to those who call themselves Christians: that people would know that we are different by the way we treat each other, including those we date.
