Day 3: From Religion to Relationship

Matthew 23:23-28

Jesus strongly rebuked the religious leaders who focused on outward appearances while neglecting the heart. God is concerned with the condition of our hearts, not just our external actions. Examine your own life today - are there areas where you're merely going through religious motions without genuine heart engagement? Ask God to reveal any hypocrisy or "whitewashed tombs" in your life, and pray for a renewed, authentic relationship with Him that transforms you from the inside out.
