Studying the Bible

God's Commands Are Not About Rules: They're About Relationships

Download it: MP3 | AAC | OGG | OPUS

Sometimes God's laws can feel overwhelming or restrictive. He's given us Ten Commandments, things we have to do or things that we can't do. These laws can make us feel like a failure or maybe we feel accomplished. We might obey out of fear or self-righteousness instead of looking at His laws as they were intended. Jesus made it simple. The sum of the law is this: love God and love your neighbor. Then you will fulfill the laws of God. There are not really ten but two. The first four teach us how to love God and the last six teach us how to love each other. It's not about rules, it's about having a relationship with our God and fostering better relationships with others.
