A Relationship, Not a Rulebook

Jesus longs for you to know Him, and to walk with Him, to let His love nourish you.

Transcript

This is hope with God. I'm Andrew Palau. Everywhere we look, there are rules and limitations. Maybe you've thought following Jesus is just like that, a bunch of rules. But that's not what Jesus came to bring. He came to offer a relationship, not a rule book. Listen to the words of Jesus. I am the vine, you are the branches. Those who remain in me and I in them will produce much fruit. For apart from me, you can do nothing. Life with Jesus isn't about rules and punishment. It's about staying close to him, like branches connected to a healthy vine. Jesus longs for you to know him and to walk with him, to let his love nourish you. That's freedom, not burden. So today, maybe you're tired of trying to be good enough. You don't have to prove yourself. You can simply turn to Jesus and say, I want to know you. I want to. Please forgive me. I give you my life. Always remember, there is hope with God.

Everywhere we look, there are rules and limitations.

Maybe you’ve thought following Jesus is just like that: a bunch of rules. But that’s not what Jesus came to bring. He came to offer a relationship—not a rulebook.

Listen to the words of Jesus: “...I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who remain in me, and I in them, will produce much fruit. For apart from me you can do nothing.”

Life with Jesus isn’t about rules and punishment. It’s about staying close to Him. Like branches connected to a healthy vine. Jesus longs for you to know Him, and to walk with Him, to let His love nourish you. That’s freedom, not burden.

So today, maybe you’re tired of trying to “be good enough.” You don’t have to prove yourself. You can simply turn to Jesus and say, “I want to know You. Please forgive me. I give You my life.”

Always remember, there is hope with God.
