Want to relate better? Here’s how!
We can skip human-made religion and connect directly with the person, Jesus Christ, by faith. Then we will (1. ) “find ourselves involved in loyal commitments, (2.) not needing to force our way in life, (3.) able to marshal and direct our energies wisely.” (Galatians 5:22 The Message Bible)
In Christ “We find ourselves:
- Love: “Involved in loyal commitments,
—We are loyal. We are rich in Christ and can afford stay when the payoff looks low or non-existent. Like Jesus, who “having loved his dear companions…continued to love them right to the end,” even though they all forsook him. (John 13:1) - Let go: “Not needing to force our way in life,
—We are wealthy. We don’t need to sorceries, witchcrafts, manipulations, controlling, dominating, or intimidating to work something to our advantage or to take advantage. We are serving out of God’s supply and don’t need to muscle or force things. (Ephesians 4:14-15) - Listen: “Able to marshal and direct our energies wisely.”
—We are wise. We marshal our energies by “sitting” with and listening to Jesus. We are directed, rather than distracted. (Luke 10:38-42)
