Religion is anti-grace and anti-God. Religion is ritual without reality. Religion is human viewpoint. Religion was introduced to the world by satan.
Christianity is not a religion. Christianity is divine viewpoint. Christianity is God rescuing mankind from spiritual darkness by the spiritual death of Jesus Christ on the cross and His resurrection.
Christianity is the only faith where the object of faith, the One, True, Living God, does all the work of salvation. Religion has humanity trying to earn something by doing something that other humans have determined is necessary, to achieve whatever it is they’re working to achieve. Christianity and religion are polar opposites.
Thank you Father God for your plan of grace. Thank you Jesus for becoming true humanity in order to die in our place and pay our sin debt. Amen.
