Let Go of Religion

The word “religion” is derived from a Latin word which literally means “to bind fast”. Therefore, a religious person is bound under an obligation of some sort. Religion can easily hold us bondage when we determine our lives and actions based on fear of hell and judgment from an angry god. In addition, when under the influence of a religious mindset, every person’s idea of god can be different; and it is.

From the earliest of times, humans have looked around and wondered about the universe, the complexity, and the perfection of creation and the meaning of life and their purpose. To realize the true potential of your capabilities and to fully grasp that for which you and only you are gifted, requires you to walk in absolute freedom. Freedom from all bondages that have the potential to hold you down and your religious beliefs can be one of them.

Galatians 5:1 – So Christ has truly set us free. Now make sure that you stay free, and don’t get tied up again in slavery to the law.

Religion causes you to live by other’s convictions instead of your own.

Let go of religion and seek to get into a real relationship with the true God. Apart from God, you can do nothing because He is the very source of your life. He is the vine, and you are the branches. A branch detached from the vine just shrivels and dies. Be reconciled to God through belief in the Lord Jesus Christ. God cannot be contained into an idol in a room or on your desk or into a picture in a photo frame in your car. God cannot be contained by man’s imagination of how He might be, and He is not a set of moral teachings either. God is way too big for that and holds the entire known and unknown universe in the palm of His hands. Yet, He is loving, compassionate, merciful and forgiving. And He has made it possible for anyone keen to know Him personally and intimately through the knowledge of Jesus Christ.

Contrary to popular belief, Christianity is not a “religion”. Yes, people have made it a religion and unfortunately many churches have portrayed it as a religion, but it is not. True Christianity is a personal “RELATIONSHIP” with the one true God, our Father. Yes, such a relationship is possible and it is only achieved through the knowledge of Jesus Christ who laid down His own life for our sins and paid the price for our sins. He didn’t stay dead thereafter. He rose from the dead and is alive today and will return soon. His resurrected life is proof that our sins are washed away. His resurrection is proof that we are free from religious bondages. His resurrection is proof that we are healed from our sicknesses. His resurrection is proof that we are free from addictions. His resurrection is proof that we can KNOW God our Father and live in peace and harmony, with a genuine love for one another.

An intimate relationship with God through the knowledge of Jesus Christ brings true transformation to your life.

    I was radically transformed by the love and forgiveness of Jesus Christ back in 1997 in a most unusual way and unusual place. Read my testimony here.  Over the years I have come to realize a few basic truths that have altered my life. 

    When I believed, I was born again. 
    ​I am now a NEW CREATION in Christ. A creation that did not exist before.
    I have relocated from the kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of light.
    I now live as a citizen of my new location; the kingdom of heaven.

    True freedom is freedom from self-centeredness. Dying to yourself, your wants, your desires and to what gives you pleasure for the sake of others is more liberating than you think. 

    > Love, joy peace, contentment, satisfaction, calmness, kindness, patience, .....they all are the end result of intimacy with Christ.

    > Perpetually walking in worldly uncertainty, yet full of peace knowing all will be well, that is the secret of walking with Jesus.

    > Waiting, waiting, waiting....and then waiting some more..develops patience. Patience is a fruit of the Spirit. Despise not the waiting times. God is always just in time. He is never late. Spend your waiting times with gratitude and contentment. Let your prayers display trust and utter reliance on Him. Miraculously your waiting time will fly past sooner than you think.
