I do not have a religion.
I have a relationship with GOD
through JESUS CHRIST,
empowered by the HOLY SPIRIT.
If people asked me what my religion is, I usually answer, "I'm a Christian." But as I gradually understand deeper what Christianity is, it is not a religion. It never is. Rather, it is a relationship. After all, God is not after religion. He is into relationship. He desires a relationship with us through His Son, Jesus.
Maybe next time if someone asks me of my religion, I'd respond like this:
I do not have a religion. I have a relationship with my Father God, through His Son, Jesus Christ, and am empowered by His Holy Spirit.
