I Do Not Have a Religion

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.
