Religion is one of the biggest stumbling blocks in preventing people from coming to Christ. It has led and continues to lead millions into an eternity without Him. Religion also keeps the child of God from the blessings of a full life in Christ because it frustrates the grace of God by bringing works front and center, rather than Christ and the Cross. But if the Christian life is not about our works, and the things we do, what is it about?
The Cross is the only way out of the performance trap that many are caught up in; trying to do more to please the Lord. This is a trap which will lead to the dangerous path of religion. Only when our faith is placed firmly in Him, can we come out from under the burden of works to enjoy the glory of a fulfilling relationship with Him.
In this book, you'll discover what true salvation is, along with the glorious results it brings. You'll also learn how true Christianity is a far cry from religion--it is a relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. You'll also learn how religion resists relationship, causing us to ask the question, "Are we just churchified, or are we truly sanctified? It's a question that needs to be asked--and answered. One thing is for certain: the Cross is the dividing line between religion and relationship..
I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. Galatians 2:20
