When I became a Christian I was so determined to follow the rules. I am not good at much but following rules, I am pretty good at it. Like many of you I thought I would become the best version of my Christian self if I simply did what the bible told me to do. In my mind, I thought this will be simple and life will be good because I’m doing what the bible instructed. As time passed and I became an adult I learned in order to follow the rules it took me being in a relationship with God.
So my focus slowly but surely began to change. From completing the to-do list to just spending time with God and allowing Him to develop me through our fellowship. Let’s be honest, no matter how hard we try and no matter how good our intentions are, there is no way as human beings we can follow the rules 100% of the time. Life is hard and we are placed in situations where we know we should do the right thing, but somehow, we take a left turn which leads us away from what he’s asked us to do.
Throughout the centuries of Christianity the focus of building a relationship with Christ was amiss and replaced with following the traditions of religion (i.e. being religious). Newsflash: The goal was never to follow the bible and leave Christ out of the equation. The bible is an invitation to develop a relationship with Christ. I often hear people say they move from the church or they can no longer do Christianity because of the demands the religion has. It’s too hard and complicated being a Christian. Well, I can see how one would think and feel that.
I mean whatever we do without Christ is going to be hard. The thing is we were never supposed to do life alone. We were never supposed to think it all through alone. We were to be in partnership (i.e. relationship) with Christ. When you invite the Holy Spirit into your life, your relationship begins; not your religion begins. My blog is all about people building a relationship with Christ. I am not here to judge or condemn anyone. I genuinely want everyone to experience Jesus Christ for themselves.
God desires to be in your life. Don’t let a few mistakes or letdowns keep you from building a relationship with him. The good thing is as perfectly imperfect as you and I are, He is always waiting with arms wide open. You don’t have to say the right things or perform a certain way. With time, through relationship, if you give this an honest go you will experience God’s love like nothing you’ve ever experienced before. That in and of itself will bring about a change in you that only he can do.

Undeniably believe that which you said. Your favorite justification appeared to be on the net the easiest thing to be aware of. I say to you, I definitely get annoyed while people consider worries that they plainly don’t know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top as well as defined out the whole thing without having side effect , people can take a signal. Will probably be back to get more. Thanks
