How does Jesus establish a relationship with us?

• A. To help the Israelites know how to live and worship
• B. To grant material wealth
• C. To enforce external rituals only
• D. To judge us harshly

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that Jesus builds a relationship with us by showing us how to live and how to worship, drawing us into a life centered on God. Jesus reveals who God is and what it means to live in friendship with Him. He teaches us to love God with all our heart and to love others, to forgive, to serve, and to seek righteousness not just in outward appearances but in the heart. Through His actions, words, death, and resurrection, He invites us into a transformed relationship where worship is lived out in daily life and in the community of faith.

This is why the option about helping the Israelites know how to live and worship is best. It reflects that relationship begins with knowing how God wants us to live and how we should respond to Him in worship. It’s not about material wealth, nor about enforcing external rituals alone, nor about judging us harshly; those would miss the relational, transformative focus of Jesus’ work—reconciliation with God and a lived faith guided by His teachings.
