Christianity is not a religion; it's a relationship with Jesus Christ. As believers in Christ, we know God the Father. We know firsthand, from heart experience, that God is love. Religion can't open the door to relationship. Religion can't cleanse us from the inside. God is always interested in the heart. Mark 7:14 says there is nothing from the outside that can defile us because it doesn't go into the heart.

Man-made religion efforts will never bring you to an understanding of God's love and grace. Religious efforts to do more and be more come up short. Jesus addressed this issue in Mark 7:3-8. God's single commandment to mankind is to trust Jesus. To be free, embrace the simplicity of the good news of Jesus Christ.

How do we break free from self-made religion? How do live life in Christ apart from a bunch of rules? Are we going to put our confidence in the Bible-belt or what the Bible actually says?

• "Formerly, when you did not know God, you were enslaved to those that by nature are not gods. But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how can you turn back again to the weak and worthless elementary principles of the world, whose slaves you want to be once more?" Galatians 4:8-9

The only way we've can be drawn near to God is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ. Why do we have feelings that we are distant from God when He has taken up residence in us? "Beloved, I urge you as sojourners and exiles to abstain from the passions of the flesh, which wage war against your soul." 1 Peter 2:11

• If salvation is by grace alone, why isn't everyone saved?
• Judas Iscariot was one of the disciples chosen by Jesus, but he betrayed him and committed suicide, should we believe that Judas made it to heaven?

• Why did it take so long to fully understand God's grace. Was it the Holy Spirit that revealed this to me?

How do we overcome the desires of the flesh? "But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh." Galatians 5:16 We've learned that real life - meaningful life is found in Christ, learning to enjoy his life forever. We can declare we are dead to the flesh and alive to Christ.

God's desire is for us to be with Him. He's made the way for us through Jesus Christ. But we continue to struggle in this world. Why do we keep doing the same things over and over again? Is God frustrated with us? Are we far from God? It's often a Romans 7 trap. Fortunately there is a solution.

There are many ways we come up with to be closer to God. But we don't have what it takes to get us there. "What then shall we say? That the law is sin? By no means! Yet if it had not been for the law, I would not have known sin. For I would not have known what it is to covet if the law had not said, 'You shall not covet.' ... " Romans 7:7-11 The Gospel draws us near to God and enables us to be close to Him. Close to God both in location and relationship.

"Likewise, my brothers, you also have died to the law through the body of Christ, so that you may belong to another, to him who has been raised from the dead, in order that we may bear fruit for God. ..."
