No Religion.. Just a Relationship

So..I was talking with my friend today on facebook about something really annoying that happend to him today. It gave me the inspiration to write this new blog!
Okay so you may be reading this knowing your a Christian. (and thats great!) but you may be reading this thinking you are a Christian. (and thats bad). Maybe you have been told that being a Christian is about asking for forgiveness (which is partly right). But that is not all of what its about. Not even close. I have often been asked "what religion are you?" And I simply reply that I dont really have one. DO NOT take that as I am saying I do not believe in Jesus. ( because I DO!) I absolutely hate the word religion. Christianity should not be considered a religion. Religion is a belief based apon tradition and rituals. Being a Christian should bot be a religion.. it should be a relationship. You may not agree with what I am saying at all.. and thats okay. But when you are radically saved by the blood of Jesus Christ, you need to have a relationship. Be in constant communication.. spend time in His word. Love Him!
Now I am not saying if you dont talk to Him for an hour that you are going to Hell. Thats not right at all.. I'm saying that Jesus died for you... died.. brutally murdered... nailed to the cross.. beat.. you ought to love Him enough to communicate with Him. If you dont... He is forgiving... Once you are saved.. always saved... It talks in the Bible about a man that turned away from God. Someone asked Jesus if that man was going to live with God in Heaven. Jesus replied, "He who as turned away, never really recieved God."
So when someone asks you next time what your Religion is... are you gonna say Christianity.. or I have a relationship with Jesus Christ. Think about it!
God Bless! :)
