Religion in mans answer to draw close to God;
A relationship with God through Jesus the Christ is God’s answer to draw close to man;
Which one will you choose?
Some of you may have already seen this video. It is a very clear message to those who believe that religion will get them into God’s presence someday. This young man is taking a strong stand for Jesus!! I applaud him! All of us who are Jesus Christ’s redeemed, bought by His blood and given the hope of eternal joy in the presence Almighty God, should be so bold~~~
LOVE-HOPE-PEACE In Our Changing World 
In your opening you stated the BIGGEST difference between religion and Christianity.
Religion is man seeking God (therefore man-made)
Christianity is God seeking man.
I love it when people ask me if I am/call me religious. I thank God for the opportunity to tell them the difference. Religion is a curse, keeping people away from God and causing much trouble among people and nations. Christianity is LIFE, an abundant life in Christ.
I was very religious for a number of years, and though I had NO knowledge of God, I was about to become a Roman Catholic nun when Christ revealed Himself to me in an unmistakable way. That was 54 years ago and since then He has never let me down.
What an amazing God!

WOW!!!! I rejoice with you! He is not only amazing; but always gentle, loving, kind, forgiving, merciful–even when when we think He’s not near, He is always here. I, like you, am so in love in Our Awesome, Beautiful God! And I thank our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ for making it possible for us to have that personal relationship with the Father through Him!
Thanks for always sharing your comments and your love for Him!
