Every now and then someone asks me, "Being a christian are you allowed to do "x" immoral thing?" What if I asked, "since you are married are you allowed to steal?" Notice that the questions assume that there is no universal morality. More preoccupying is the questions assume that a relationship is based on rules and regulations. The only acceptable basis for a relationship with God is Jesus. This relationship is described in the bible using many metaphors such as:
- Abraham's seed: The believer is a friend of God by faith. (Gal 3:29, James 2:23)
- God's Son: The believer is a son of God by faith in Jesus's name and receiving the Word. Jesus is the Word. (John 1:1, 12)
- Messiah's Bride the church: The believer is part of the body and bride of Christ by the crucifiction and resurrection. (1 cor 6:14-15)
