    Obeying God Is Not About The Rules

    Contributed by Daren Mitchell on Mar 10, 2014
     | 4,068 views

    This isn't about keeping a bunch of rules. We obey Jesus because we love our Heavenly Father, and we know it's not easy. We need each other, because we don't always succeed, sometimes we fail, we give in to our selfish nature, we don't always make the sacrifice.

We don't play a lot of games in our family because we argue a lot about the rules. Does anyone else do this? I can't tell you how many times we've played a game that we ...read more

    The Law was a good thing, it had its place in God's plans, but no one (except Christ) could observe it in its entirety. We are no longer under the Law, thank God that He did the new thing that He promised to Isaiah and Jeremiah, and which was accomplished

    Isaiah 43: 16-19 God promises to do a new thing Each and every book in the Old Testament records time and time again how God’s chosen people just could not keep God’s Law; why; for the same reason that any and every other tribe on the face of the earth could not, because as it says ...read more

    There are many church, synagogue & mosque members today devoted to rituals & rule-keeping. They are living in religious bondage. They need to hear that spiritual freedom is possible only through the grace of God in Jesus Christ.

Paul now tells the Galatians they are not acting like heirs of God! So he asks them if they prefer slavery or freedom, legalism or the Spirit? Did ...read more

This is a story that badly needs rescuing for many, if not most, stop the story when the younger son returns. But Jesus continues the story to an unfinished conclusion. This ...read more

    We cannot please God by means of our own effort, but only by means of the Holy Spirit’s power.

    God calls on everyone to reject the idea that they can justify themselves by their own good works. That’s what everyone who has yet to come to Christ is doing - seeking to justify themselves in the sight of God, in the sight of others or in their own sight. Religion leads to the “comparison ...read more
