Relationship, Not Religion

Accepting Christ Jesus as the LORD of my life begins my relationship with Him. It was during Oct, 2001 when I prayed to receive Him into my life and since that day, I begin to walk with Him in my spiritual journey.

I was so amazed of the Great Work He has finished on the cross to bridge me back to the only true God and also very happy to find the answer which I was searching for since I began to feel the sense of emptiness following my parents’ lead from young to offer incenses to idols.

God is not a god who cannot move, touch and say something except to be seated there to be offered incenses and sacrifices. He is very much alive and not limited to that idol which we as His created beings sculpt out of our hands.

It is a relationship with Him since the very beginning of Creation and not religion. This is simply because if you can take relationship out of this equation, you get religion. In other words, without relationship in the picture, religion is there to allow all of us to be indulged in our own flesh and seeking glory from it.

Religion (as one of my friends put it in this way) is very much doing something industriously. For example, this guy logins to his email and facebook account everyday religiously. What is the picture portrayed here? He does it everyday without fail and he seeks glory in himself for being able to do it everyday without fail.

Christians are the children of God (John 1:12) and it is because of this fact, all believers in Christ belong to the same family of God. It does not matter that you are a white, black, Chinese, Malays, Indians, etc; so long you place your faith in Christ, you are welcomed as His son or daughter without any blemish. Eternal life commences the moment you place your faith in Him (John 17:3) and He will never leave you or forsake you (Hebrews 13:5). Furthermore, there is absolutely nothing in this world which is able to separate you from His love (Romans 8:38-39).

God with His utmost power is definitely capable of ‘making’ every single person in this world to be His children be it either willing or unwilling choice of that person. However, He did not do so because just as a guy desires for a lady to marry him willingly, God wants every person to come to put his or her faith in His only Begotten Son willingly as well. Only under this circumstance will there be true genuine love as God desires for us to love him genuinely.
