Christianity is not a RELIGION!

VERSES: If you have died with Christ to the elementary principles of the world, why, as if you were living in the world, do you submit yourself to decrees, such as,"Do not handle, do not taste, do not touch!"(which all refer to things destined to perish with use)--in accordance with the commandments and teachings of men? These are matters which have, to be sure, the appearance of wisdom in self-made religion and self-abasement and severe treatment of the body, but are of no value against fleshly indulgence. (Col 2:20-23)


I guess the title of this article may surprise many but this is what the Bible says. When you accept Christ, you are not adopted into some religious body with a thousand rules! Christ died on the cross and rose on the the third day to redeem us. This simply means He wanted to restore our relationship with Him not to impose some rules on us but to give us eternal life.

Now we have to realize that we were born to sin. The bondage of sin was broken for us on the cross. We are now free in Christ once we choose to believe That Christ has redeemed us. This freedom in Christ has no additional rules or regulations. We don't need to start wearing white clothes or stop eating non-vegetarian food to show that we are holy and religious. All that we need to do is live a life that glorifies Him and understand that Christianity is a relationship with our Savior. It is that simple. You need to spend time with Him daily and allow Him to change your life. The time you spend with Him is very important. The time you spend with Him helps you realize what He wants in your life. So stop living a life of rules and start living in the freedom that Christ gave us on the cross.

THOUGHT: Do you think Christianity is a bunch of rules or is it a relationship with our Savior?
