Chapter 15 Formed for God's Family

His unchanging plan has always been to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. Ephesians 1:5

How can I start treating other believers like members of my own family?

I kinda feel like I already do this to a degree and I'd like to explain why I think that.
I'd like to talk about my childhood because it wasnt an easy one by any means but it has made us Steele children who we are today. I was raise in a household with 3 other siblings, so we learned very quickly how to share and love one another. We are all 16 months apart except for Emily and Michael who are 2 years apart. (Me, Matthew, Michael then Emily) My mom stayed at home to raise us until Emily was in first grade. She also watched other children for extra money during the day so our house was always full of children and people. My dad worked as a computer technician for companies that tended to buy each other out from one another laying off people as they go. Our family lived paycheck to paycheck so times werent always good. When money was no where to be had, we had each other! We were also raised to appreciate and love one anothers simple existence because both of my brothers have a terminal blood disease. Through many or life's tests, we learned to love not only one another but everyone along the way, nurses, teachers, doctors, church members, and even strangers. We treat others the way we would want to be treated. We didnt know the impact that our childhood would have on our love for others but I can say that the Steele family has a big open heart for God's family!

This chapter also discussed baptism and its importance when joining God's family.
