Community makes how we relate to Jesus more than personal

I’m sure you’ve heard about having a “personal relationship with Jesus Christ” by now. This is a really important concept in contemporary Evangelical Christianity and for a movement that is so strongly, allegedly, based on the Bible, it’s interesting that its founding idea isn’t mentioned in the Scripture. I think that’s OK. I don’t think the Bible needs to mention every theological tenant we adhere to (I do think it should be in the “Spirit of the text,” however), but there are certain constructs and advents in our contemporary times that we need to be at home with and we need to be fully who God wants us to be today.
