Page 30 - The Gospel Truth About Death and Dying_Neat

You cannot die in a way inconsistent with the way you live!

You cannot live life in rules and expect to die in relationship with

God. You cannot live in religion and expect to die in the peace

of the gospel.

You die the way you have lived!

Now let’s really see the difference between relationship and
rules. See the difference between what rules produce our life,

and what relationship with Jesus produces. The difference is

dynamic – and even more than that it is profound.

The Difference Between Rules

and Relationship

RULES. In listening to a person who lives in rules talk, you soon

learn Christianity is all about them. It’s all about their faith, their

ministry, their doubts, their giving, their church attendance, and

their Bible reading. If they are a pastor, it’s all about how many

people they have in their church. Everything is about THEM.

RELATIONSHIP. In listening to a person talk who lives in

relationship with Father, life is all about God, and the finished

work of Christ. It is all about what God has done, what he is

doing in them. It’s all about who they are because of Jesus.
