Why is it important that we differentiate between Religion and Relationship with God? God wants to have a relationship with YOU! Here are some of the distinctive differences between Religion and Relationship with God?
- Religion is man-made. Relationship with God is God-given.
- Religion is man’s search for God. Relationship with God is a discovery that God wants you to know Him.
- Religion is about trying to be good. Relationship with God is about trusting that God is good and He wants the best for you.
- Religion is about laws. Relationship with God is about love.
- Religion is about doing. Relationship with God is about being.
- Religion is about climbing a ladder to meet God. Relationship with God is about God lowering a ladder and sending Jesus to meet YOU.
- Religion is about rules and regulations. Relationship with God is about mercy and forgiveness.
A relationship with God is what God wants with you and for you. Don’t rule out going to church. Rule out religion. Find a church where you can connect with God. If you go to church and you are bored, go somewhere else. If you grew up in a church and it was irrelevant to your life, just know there are great houses of God all over the world where you can connect with God.
Give church another try, or give it a try for the first time. Give God a chance to prove His God-ness in your life.
