"You can have tons of religion without an
ounce of salvation." Anonymous
Where does it say in the Bible that religion is
the way to heaven?
Religion is the
organization and structure, but not the Creator and the Savior. the law, but
not the law Giver. the identifier of sins, but is not the Forgiver of sins. the
what we do, but is not what we are.
Many believe that if you're "religious" then
heaven, and all its' glory, is in your future. But where does the Bible talk
about being "religious"? Doesn't it talk more about a relationship with
Christ?Just a thought!
What does God's Word
say?:
."...He (Christ) saved us, not because of
righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the
washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us
generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by
his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life." Titus 3:
5-7
."...know that a man is not justified by observing the
law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ
Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by observing the law,
because by observing the law no one will be justified." Gal.
2:16
"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-- and
this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God--not by works, so that no one
can boast." Eph. 2:8-9
What do you have? A religion on Sunday morning,
or a relationship that is 24 hours a day, 7 days a week!!!
