Be sure to have a relationship with God and not religion or religious experiences.
The Differences:
People in relationship with God talk to God every day of the week, throughout the day. A religious person only spends time with God for a couple of hours on Sunday.
People in relationship with God read their bible daily. A religious person keeps their bible on the nightstand for decoration.
People in relationship with God read the Word of God because they want to know God more. A religious person reads a scripture or two just to “check a box.”
People in relationship with God seek His ways of doing things. A religious person acts and hopes God will bless their decisions.
People in relationship with God strive to honor God with their lives, behavior, and decisions daily. Religious people have the appearance of being holy in church settings, but they sin better than the world when no one’s looking.
Now that we understand the differences between a person who has a relationship with God and a person who is religious, ask yourself, “Am I religious or am I continuously developing my relationship with God?”
Religion: Isaiah 29:13 Therefore the Lord said: “These people draw near to Me with their mouths and honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me. Their worship of Me is but rules taught by men.
Relationship: Psalm 119:147 I rise before dawn and cry for help; I wait for Your words. 148 My eyes anticipate the night watches, That I may meditate on Your word.
