Do you ever wonder if you’re doing enough as a Christian—or feel confused by all the voices telling you what you should and shouldn’t be doing to grow closer to God?
When you’re already overwhelmed by everyday life, your Christian faith can begin to feel like another list of things you need to get right. Pray more. Read your Bible more. Go to church. Follow the rules. But is doing all the “right” things really what brings you closer to God?
In this episode, we turn to Colossians 2:16–23 to explore the difference between religious rules and a genuine relationship with Jesus. We’ll also look at how Scripture, the Holy Spirit, and wise counsel can help you discern biblical truth when convincing opinions and Christian teachings leave you wondering what to believe.
In this Bible study, you’ll discover:
- How to recognize when spiritual practices have shifted from helping you grow closer to God to trying to earn His approval.
- Why knowing God’s Word for yourself can strengthen your faith and help you discern truth when other voices sound convincing.
- How to rely on Scripture and the Holy Spirit so you can move away from spiritual striving and walk with greater confidence in your relationship with God.
Press play for a few moments in God’s Word and discover how to stop measuring your faith by what you do, discern what’s true, and grow closer to God with greater confidence and grace.
