All About Religion Or Rather A Relationship With God?

I hope you find the difference between religion and a relationship with God, for this is so very important to understand. A person can learn about religion yet still not make it into it. heaven when they die. My faith is more of a relationship with God; more than it is a religion; my faith is a way of life directed by God’s word, The Holy Spirit, as a result of what Jesus Christ did on the cross for me to forgive me of my sins, and make me right in the eyes of God.

Historically, religion has gotten men into many problems since they sometimes think they can work their way into heaven by being good. Why did Jesus have to come to the world, live, teach, die, and be raised from the dead if that were the case? It does not make sense, but many people believe that their “good works” are what get. them God’s grace and mercy rather than the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross to die for our sins. Below is some information about God and related topics that will give you an idea of what “Religion” or a “Relationship with God” pertains to in more detail. ~ Bill Greguska
