Religious systems vs Relationship with Jesus Christ Sheepfold = a walled enclosure where the sheep go @ the end of the day
The shepherd sleeps in the doorway to protect the sheep In the morning the shepherd calls them out by name to follow him You are God’s sheep or you are not God’s sheep
All sheep her His voice but only His sheep respond to this voice/call Responding to religious systems does not work Relationship NOT religion Religion = man’s efforts to reach an infinite God
Bringing the finite to the infinite does not work Christianity = God reaching to man
The infinite reaching to finite Religious systems will destroy a man but a relationship with Christ will bring life and that more abundantly. No religious system gives you the power to overcome your sins, free you from guilt or give the power to live right.
