• Often, people say, "It is about relationship, not religion". Not so fast! It is about both. The Bible speaks of "pure religion" (James 1:27) which infers religion can be impure, just as there are "true worshippers" (John 4:23) inferring worship can be untrue or vain (Mt. 15:9). Christ is Savior of the obedient (Hebrews 5:9). If we love Jesus, we'll keep His commandments (John 14:15). Relationship and Obedience = Pure Religion and True Worship. Otherwise, one has not God (2 John 1:9).
