𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗸𝘀?

Welcome to today’s video! We’re tackling a bold topic: “𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝘂𝗰𝗸𝘀” and diving deep into the critical differences between religion and a relationship with God.

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗬𝗼𝘂’𝗹𝗹 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻:
🔹 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗙𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘀 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁: How man-made rules and rituals can distract from truly knowing God.
🔹 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽: Christianity is about walking in obedience to Jesus, not performing works to earn salvation.
🔹 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗕𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗴𝗲: How to move beyond lifeless rituals to experience authentic faith and grace.
🔹 𝗦𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀: What the Bible says about religious practices versus a true connection with Christ (e.g., 1 John 2:1-6, Matthew 7:21-23).

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝘂𝗰𝗸𝘀
Religion often burdens us with expectations and man-made rules that offer no real connection to God. It focuses on outward practices rather than inward transformation. A genuine relationship with Jesus is rooted in love, grace, and obedience—not in empty rituals or cultural traditions.

𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗤𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗗𝗶𝘀𝗰𝘂𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗱:
💬 Are your religious practices drawing you closer to God or keeping you stuck in routine?
💬 Can church attendance and good works substitute for a true relationship with Jesus?
💬 How can we move from religion to relationship, fully surrendering to God’s will?


Join us as we challenge the norms, unpack the truth of God’s Word, and explore how to live a faith that’s real, alive, and transformative.
