Rules or Relationships?

I have been thinking about how so easily I could be Muslim or Hindu or even Jewish right now and be convinced that I am right just as I am convinced right now.
It's a scary though to me.


Azurae was talking about believing if that Bible is absolute truth and how if we don't believe it is, it's really hard to go anywhere in our faith if we don't have anythign to base it on, and that totally didn't even apply to me. (I love it when God uses seemingly disconnected things to make a point)

But somehow she slipped in (she didn;t do it on purpose) that "the Bible is here for our relationship with God" and not rules and guidelines and how to act (that all comes with having a friendship with Him)

So like, it totally hit me that this whole year I've just been trying to do what's right and being like "I gotta change this about me 'cus I'm a Christian and I should be Jesus to the world" and I realized that that's not what it's about, it's about God. And if I make it about God, those things will come accordingly

Why do I continually have to be re-reminded about God's greatness? That's He's bigger than I can concieve? Or That He's not a formula that I can put the right answers/actions into and get what I desire (whether in behavior or materials or miracles).
