Although, I may not agree with everything he says (or some of his illustrations), I believe he makes a very valid point. Religion as a whole, just trying to paint up the outside to look godly, is not what Jesus came to die for. Jesus died to have a personal relationship with each one of us, declaring us righteous before God so that we can live for righteousness and not for sin. How liberating! I cannot, in my own strength, conquer sin. It is only through the power of Jesus and the liberating power of Grace in our lives that we can hope to change. I hope you find this video a challenge to your own heart and life. It is rather lengthy, but I think it's worth the time to listen, evaluate, and think through. Was I saved to merely live a sinless life and follow rules? or was I saved to have a relationship with Jesus that will result in desiring to live a sinless life?
