Relationship verses Religion
No one is perfect. If a person is willing to change, forgive them and work with them. But some people are unteachable and do not take to correction. These people may never even go to church but never the less, they are religious. Religious people “follow the rules” and want to look good.
Relational people care about the well-being of others, not just the rules. Rules are important but not at the cost of putting rules before the emotional health of others.
Relational people have your best interest in mind. They are able to understand and accept others. Relational people are honest about themselves. They are teachable and willing to change. People who want to know God and to please God understand the purpose of relationship.
“So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature. For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law” (Galatians 5:14-18).
Relational people are honest about themselves. They are teachable and willing to change.
