God doesn't want us to have rigid rituals with Him. In the new covenant, He is more interested in having a relationship with us.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
A covenant made with God should be regarded not as restrictive but as protective.
As a member of the Church, you have made sacred covenants with the Lord.
We lack rituals in this modern world.
A covenant is an agreement between God and His children upon the earth, and it is important to understand that God determines the conditions of all gospel covenants.
What we need to understand is that when traditions become laws, rules, obligations and expectations others put on us that we don't want to fulfill, then they lose real meaning and steal the joy from our lives. And if we're too religious, we won't be able to be led by the Holy Spirit and enjoy an intimate relationship with Him.
Christians are not in bondage to do things as the world does, and moreover, the traditions and rudiments of men are not necessary to honor God.
Because Judaism and Christianity are both covenantal religions, the relationship of the individual Jew or Christian to God is always within covenanted community.
Oh, yeah, I'm all about ritual.
Organised religion, organised anything, requires commitment and requires an engagement with something. A lot of the time, we don't want to commit.
One of the most important concepts of revealed religion is that of a sacred covenant.
