Even before sin marred creation, humanity faced a problem: social isolation. God created us for relationships. As such, from the beginning of time, what the world has needed and continues to need is love: the love of friends who love at all times, who bear each other’s burdens, who are kind to each other, who are patient and forgiving, who are good influences.
