I am Not Religious And I Don't Want To Be! With Greg Laurie

You know, I've had people say to me, well, you're a, a religious person, right? Greg? And my answer sometimes surprises them.

I say, no, I'm not religious. And I don't want to be religious. They then say I don't understand that isn't this all about religion? Well, in a technical sense, you could say Christianity is a religion, but let me put it another way. Religion is men's attempt to reach God. If you were to sum up religion in one word, it would be, do, do this.

And maybe you'll reach Nirvana, do this other thing. And you'll find inner peace, do this. And maybe you'll go to heaven. A lot of dues, dues, dues, it's really a bunch of do do . Well, I think one word to sum up Christianity would be done, not due, but done. The Bible says when Jesus hung on the cross, he said it is finished.

And so it's completed. I don't need to do a bunch of things to earn God's approval. Jesus did all the heavy lifting at the cross and the resurrection. So I need to turn from my sin and receive the gift of God. I don't want to be a religious person, but I do want a relationship with the Lord and we can all have that through Christ.
