Whether you are the parent or the child, you are old or young, you are a male or a female, you are a brother or a sister, your relationship with the other members of the family can be very complicated. The thing about a family is, there is a special attachment to them, whether you want it to be there or not. They hold a place in your mind and heart that is very hard to ignore. Jesus has incredible principles and power to help, heal, and bless family relationships. He considers them to be some of the most valuable relationships in all of the world.

In interacting with a family member, you are dealing with two people who have a free will. A brother or sister can choose to be a sibling who follows Biblical principles and is interacting in a very good fashion. But the other brother or sister has the right to refuse to learn and apply Biblical principles to the relationship. An aunt or uncle can choose to be a relative who follows Biblical principles and is interacting in a very good fashion. But the niece or nephew has the right to refuse to learn and apply Biblical principles to the relationship. There can also be other members of the family who are refusing to follow Biblical principles and are hurting all the other members of the family.

Even if you are the only one who is willing to allow Jesus and His principles into your life, Jesus can help you give your family a chance to find out what incredible things He is able to do. The problem will have to do with the kind of treatment you get in response to you being loving, kind, patient, peaceful, good, gentle, and self-controlled. You will need all these things Jesus will be teaching you, so you can have His power to help you lead your family into what Jesus has to offer.

In this study, Jesus deals will all of those possibilities and helps those who are willing to use His principles to bring as much healing as is possible to the family. If this is the area where you are suffering the most, then go ahead and start studying the Bible concepts and allowing them to help you bring healing to your family.

If you can get other members to join you in the study, you will find the process to be rewarding and relationship building. If you need to “translate” the concepts into a child’s level, an unsaved persons lack of understanding, or an untrained Christian's weaknesses, that will be a very dynamic way of teaching them Jesus’ life-principles. Just select the “Family” word in the gray box and it will take you to that study.
