Christ Alone: Relationships over Rules

To be right with God we need to focus on an inward heart-level relationship with Jesus, not an outward heartless keeping of rules.

1. The heart is the problem.

Sin ruins relationships with God and man.

Keeping rules fails to pay sin’s penalty.

2. Jesus is the solution.

Christ alone paid sins penalty.

Christ transforms hearts and reconciles relationships.

Therefore,
1. Avoid Pharisaical attitudes and actions.

2. Adhere/Cling to Christ, not traditions, opinions or rules.

3. Adopt the attitude of Christ.
