How To Strengthen Your FaithEgzanp

Religion Vs. Relationship

If you believe in God or call yourself a Christian, then you'd probably consider yourself either a religious person or a person of faith.

Religion is a list of dos and don’ts. Follow a certain set of beliefs just because you’re supposed to. Earn your way to God. Make sure you try not to sin—and if you do, make sure to ask forgiveness so that you might make it to heaven when you die.

But relationship is where faith comes in. That’s when you begin to know who God is and what He’s all about. You know that He loves you and cares about you so much that He sent Jesus to die for you. There is freedom in that. It’s not about following a set of rules or trying to do the right thing. It’s about living in the faith that God loves you and has a purpose and plan for your life!
