The Family of God

In 1 Timothy 5.1-2, Paul explains how the church is the family of the triune God. We have been brought into the family of the Father, Son, and Spirit. As the household or family of God must relate to one another. In this text we find two distinct ways: 1) We must relate to the older saints as fathers and mothers and 2) We must relate to the younger saints as brothers and sisters.
