Don’t Overcomplicate It

Don’t Overcomplicate It

One day an expert in religious law stood up to test Jesus by asking him this question: “Teacher, what should I do to inherit eternal life?” Jesus replied, “What does the law of Moses say? How do you read it?” The man answered, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your strength, and all your mind.’ And, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’” “Right!” Jesus told him. “Do this and you will live!”

Luke 10:25-28

Think about the simplicity of Jesus’ words.

In what ways have you complicated your relationship with God?

Do you try to work for God’s favor?

Are your prayers full of excuses or unnecessary words?

Have certain rituals in your life become more like superstitions?

How might God be using these verses to guide you toward simplicity in your relationship with him?
