Hey there. Thanks for listening to the Greg Lorry podcast, a ministry supported by Harvest Partners.

I'm Greg Lorry, encouraging you if you want to find out more about Harvest Ministries

and learn more about how to become a Harvest partner, just go to Harvest.org.

So this morning, I'm going to talk about something that, you know, when you finally get into this

relationship with Jesus, and you know, as we used to say on the street, when you cut to the chase,

get to the bottom line, this whole life is about a relationship with Jesus, not about rules

and regulations.

Guys tell me, oh, it's so hard to be a Christian. And I said,

no, it's not. Because you think you have to sit down after you become a Christian, study the Tant

commandments and figure out, how am I going to keep them one at a time? It's not about that.

When you get into this relationship with Jesus, he transforms you from the inside out. The desires that you had

at one time, they become less and less and less. As you build your relationship with Jesus, it

becomes easier. And you know, people want to tell you this, those of you that are struggling,

I know some of you this morning, we all, we have issues in our life. You know, you think, oh, man,

you know, I'm a sinner,

how is God going to forgive me? What's he going to do? How can I overcome this? You know,

the sign of a Christian is not perfection. The Bible makes it clear. We're never going to be

perfect. There was only one perfect person that ever walked the face of the earth, and that was Jesus.

The sign of a Christian is when we fall and when we sin,

we feel it, because we have this Jesus conscious.

We get down on our knees and we say, Lord, help me,

I don't want to do this again.
