The Christian life is not about strict rules—it’s about a solid relationship with God.
If you feel like your walk of faith is all about a rote set of rules that you must follow or God will be mad at you, that’s the wrong mindset. The Law was given to demonstrate to you that you are not good without God. I’m not trying to be mean, but the fact is the Ten Commandments were written as a standard to live by. The more you live out your faith, and the more mature you become in Christ, the more you realize that you cannot keep these commandments. We are sinners in need of the Savior. These rules will teach you that you need to stop striving and start surrendering. Your relationship with the Lord will strengthen as you cling to Him and communicate with Him. It’s not about rules. It’s about relationship.
