10 Differences Between Religion and “The Personal Relationship with Jesus and the Holy Spirit” 10c

       10 Differences Between Religion and
       “The Personal Relationship" with
        God,   Jesus,   and the Holy Spirit” 

                                                         Return to Main Menu

1       Religion Stresses developing beliefs through
         formulas, “how-to”, and regulations,

”The Personal Relationship” 
         stresses commitments of the heart.

2       Religion teaches guidance FOR our lives,
“The Personal Relationship” 
         places in us the Guidance we need IN our lives.

3       Religion stresses our imposing order on our lives,
“The Personal Relationship" 
         gives the desire for the Covenant of order in our lives.

4       Religion stresses 
              the elements of the Bible on how to live our lives,
“The Personal Relationship” 
        provides those elements to build up our lives.

5       Religion leads us to Questions about rules
“The Personal Relationship” 
         leads us to answers about life.

6       Religion gives us information that tell us what to do,
“The Personal Relationship” 
         gives us God’s knowledge of what to do.

7       Religion many times stifles and robs us of our 
              more complete understanding of Gods Blessings,
"The Personal Relationship" 
         allows us to reach out and accept 
                 more than a meager amount of His Blessings.

8       Religion brings God’s people together in 
             community fellowship,  This is good but
“The Personal Relationship” 
        brings people to God in His Fellowship, 
              Community fellowship will come.

9       The Personal Relationship is by far 
            more important than religion, but in
"The Personal Relationship"
      it better sustains us in a 
           church or religious institution. 
      It can be difficult to maintain 
         "The Personal Relationship" 
                by, in, and through only ourselves.
"The Personal Relationship" with God
      is maintained by:
      Bible Study, Prayer, and

              Fellowship and Worship with those 
                       who have a Personal Relationship.

10    Without
  "The Intimate Personal Relationship" with 
          God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit in our lives,
              what we mostly have is just religion.

Thanks be to God
