Human Relations (Credit: 2 or 3 hours)

Average equivalent

ECTS 4 or 5

Description

Human Relations is built on the summary of the commandments given by our Lord in Matthew 22:34–40. The theme, therefore, is love. In this course the agape concept is examined thoroughly and is applied to every kind of human relationship. Agape is first experienced when the “self” meets God and is then applied to the other relationships of human experience.

Course Objectives

Upon completion of this course, you should be able to: 1. Discuss the meaning of the New Testament concept of agape showing how it is unique and why it is an important concept in the study of human relations. 2. Develop a biblical model of agape that relates to the basic relationships of life, God’s demonstration of agape, and the dynamic of agape in growth and maturity. 3. State how each member of the Godhead is actively involved in the agape experience of the believer. 4. Summarize what it means to love yourself and how a person with a negative self-image could apply agape principles to his life. 5. Develop a series of biblical principles based on agape that could be used by the person wanting to grow in maturity and to be victorious in life over the flesh, Satan, and the world. 6. Identify and apply basic agape principles to the various relationships of the life of the child of God, including family, the body of Christ, and the world of non-believers. 7. Give support from Scripture and personal experience for some of the values and characteristics of agape relations. 8. Evaluate your own life and relationships in light of agape principles and make a plan that could be used in developing your own agape lifestyle more fully.
