Christianity is Christ on the Cross offering this.
A.) 2 Corinthians 5:19
That is not a religion.
And will never be a religion.
What else?
Religion can't lead you to God.
Only Christ can lead you to God . John 14:6
To Join Him spiritually, by being born again, is how you become a CHRISTian, and that is not a religion.
No !
Salvation IS only possible by Christ dying on the cross and being raised to live by God !
Romans 10:9 KJV
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God
hath raised HIM FROM THE DEAD, thou shalt be saved.
A Buddhist could say the same as you've said, I follow Buddha, therefore I'm a Buddhist.
You have no basis for saying Christianity isn't a religion !
This word, " christian" was first used as a slur against the disciples of Jesus, the Christ, by the Romans to put them down as something less than.
I do not use this term.
Many, many tout the name "christian" yet this will be what Jesus, my Lord, will say unto them;
Matthew 7:21 KJV
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that
doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
What leads a person to desire a relationship with God ?
Let us just see.
The
Holy Spirit comes to convict us of righteousness, not just of sin. His role is to convict the world of sin so that they may believe in God to bring them to Christ. He does convict us of sin , but He also wants to convince us of the righteousness that we have through Jesus Christ. His gift is not just
conviction but is also communion.
JOHN 16:8
"And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:"
This then is what will happen.
For
godly sorrow worketh
repentance to salvation ,not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.
2 Corinthians 7:10 KJV
The righteous
cry, and the LORD
heareth, and
delievereth them out of all their troubles. The LORD
is nigh into them that are of a broken heart; AND SAVETH SUCH AS BE OF A CONTRITE SPIRIT.
Psalm 34:17-18 KJV
No!
JESUS isnt a religion., but He is CHRISTianity, you said, Behold.
No!
JESUS IS THE SALVATION OF GOD;
NOT AN OR ANY
ANITY !!!!!!!! I say this instead.
John 3:16 KJV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever
believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
