I’m In Week 2 // Relationship > Rules

I’m In Week 2 — Relationship > Rules. When it comes to rules, most people fall into one of two categories: rule- keepers or rule-breakers. Think about it! There are those who are bound to following even the simplest of rules no matter what, while others are just as bound to breaking them. It seems like the two couldn’t be more different, but, believe it or not, there’s one thing both types of people have in common: they’re always focused on the rules. Whether you’re a rule breaker or a rule keeper, it’s easy to become so concerned with what you’re doing right—or not doing right—that the rules become the point. But when we make the rules our primary focus in our faith, we tend to lose sight of what’s most important: a relationship. When God invites us to be in with Him, He’s not inviting us to live a rules-focused life, but rather a relationship-focused life with Him. And as we look this week at how that truth impacted someone close to Him, we’ll see that when we shift our focus from rules to relationship we’ll begin to truly step into the life Jesus called us to live.
