Knowing Jesus: Beyond Rituals and Into Relationship
Send us a Text Message.Ever wondered if simply attending church and following rituals is enough to truly know Jesus? Join me, BR Maul, as I recount my personal spiritual journey, beginning with my upbringing in the Lutheran church where I believed that church rituals and infant baptism were sufficient for being a Christian. We dissect 1 John 2:3-6 to understand how knowing and keeping Jesus' commandments is the true reflection of our relationship with God. I'll share how my perspective on a biblical relationship with Jesus evolved over time, the misconceptions I faced, and the importance of aligning our lives with God's Word for true transformation.By examining verses 3 and 4, we highlight the essential nature of loving God and our neighbors, breaking down the Bible's definition of love in contrast to Hollywood's portrayal. Through a personal anecdote about differing perceptions of a gym teacher, I illustrate how structure and adherence to rules can provide comfort. We also discuss how familial and marital relationships shape who we are, drawing parallels to our relationship with Jesus Christ. Consistently engaging with God's Word, prayer, worship, and fellowship with believers leads to spiritual growth and sanctification, helping us live God's way in an often ungodly world.
