Christianity vs Religion
There is a big difference. We no longer can put Christianity and religion in the same box. There is becoming a wider gap. The reality is that our world is changing. Political correctness has replaced truth.
So what are some of the differences? Some we’ve always known, yet more are rising on the scene every day. Let’s look at Christianity vs. Religion.
CHRISTIANITY:
Represents Christ
Exchanges love for power
Defies the Law of Religion
Operates under God’s authority
Is despised by the religious
Exchanges the heaviness of guilt for mercy
Offers truth in every form
Knows nothing but grace
Offers eternal peace
Offers the only way to Jesus
Is held together by faith and love
Is for the rejected by all others
Can never fail the person who embraces it fully
Is the ultimate power over all others
Truly heals a broken soul
Christianity says there is only one way to God.
Is established by God and stands alone
Is what religions can never be – free
Will exist when religion is no more
Can stand in the path of evil and face it down
Is the result of a loving God to humanity
Stands against Satan and he fears its power
Never attacks but always expresses itself in righteousness and what is true
Exposes the false in its pretenders
Will not lie but represents the truth
Won’t fail man when man fails it
Will stand the test of time
Relies on God while religion relies on man
Stands alone; separate from all others
Exists to serve God and His purpose
Has only the one true God
RELIGION:
Destroys
Doesn’t cause many to fear hell
Corrupts
Perverts
Breeds bondage
Has no authority
Waters down Christianity
Tries to steal the authority of Jesus
Creates only a form of Godliness
Steals the Joy of Christ
Works against evangelism
Allows negativity toward God
Works against God’s Word
Brings confusion
Destroys relationships
Puts yokes on people
Splits churches and destroys ministry
Brings legalism to people
Is Godless
Puts people under the Law and brings fear
Ruins faith
Welcomes any god (and has many)
Ignores righteousness
Weakens the Trinity
Will send people to hell
Paints an unrealistic view of Heaven

Whose banner do you fall under? There’s only one True God. The way you choose to live your life will place you under one or the other.
