Why is it important that we differentiate between religion and relationship with God? God wants to have a relationship with YOU! Here are some 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 discovering that He 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 is what God wants with you and for you. Don’t rule out going to church. Find a church where you can connect with God. Give God a chance to prove His God-ness in your life!
