Christianity Is Not A Religion by lampardizik(m): 7:53pm On Sep 24, 2015
Most people believe and say that Christianity is a religion. Probably when they were in school or asked to fill a form they opted for the "Christian Religion." But the truth is,Christianity is more than a religion.




Jesus Christ didn't come to introduce another religion into the world. No,not at all! Rather,He came to bring us into a relationship,a divine fellowship with God.




In religion,man believes that there is a God somewhere and does all he can to reach Him. In other words,religion is man working out how to get to God; how to serve, please and relate with Him. However, Christianity is totally different!




Christianity is God Almighty reaching out to man and getting man to make contact with Him. This is why God sent Jesus, "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" (John 3:16). Therefore, Christianity is Christ Jesus alive in a human person. It is God and man brought together to become one divine creation. It is the life of God functioning in a man. It is the unveiling of the living word of God in a human life!




Christianity is practical and therefore, has to do with your day-to-day experience as a person. When Jesus walked the face of the earth, He was the outworking of God's Word, the manifestation of His glory. He lived the divine life thereby showing us an example to follow. This is the type of life God wants you to live.




The goodnews is, to be a Christian is not hard at all. All you need to do is to be born again. Jesus said, "...Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the Kingdom of God" (John 3:3). That means if you're not born again, you won't be able to participate in the Kingdom of God; that is, to participate in the fellowship and oneness with Him.




When you're born again, you are brought into oneness with Jesus Christ, and once that happens, His strength will become your strength and His ability will become your ability such that when you face any situation that's not consistent with the Word of God, you can take advantage of your oneness with Christ and command a change.

The Bible says "Therefore is any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new" (2 Corinthians 5:17).




I believe you would like to have the divine life; the same kind of life with which Jesus walked the earth. It'll make you a blessing to your world.


I invite you to pray this prayer:


" O Lord God, I come to you in the Name of Jesus Christ. Your Word says, "...whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved" (Acts 2:21). I ask Jesus to come into my heart to be the Lord of my life. I receive eternal life into my spirit and according to Romans 10:9, "That if thou shalt confess with thou mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved", I declare that I am saved; I am born-again; I am a child of God; I now have Christ dwelling in me, and greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world! (1 John 4:4). I now walk in the consciousness of my new life in Christ Jesus. Hallelujah!"


Congratulations! You are now born again with the very life of God!

You are now a child of God!!

I want to encourage you to share you salvation testimony on www.wikisozo.com


You next step is to get a copy of the Bible and join a church

you were right by saying Christianity is
Christ Jesus alive in a human person. This also means Christianity is the kind of religion that
Christ Jesus alive in a human person, and the only way that is possible is to BELIEVE.
the key word that makes any religion a religion is TO BELIEVE IN SOMETHING.
christians believe in Jesus that automatically makes Christianity a religion.
don't have problem with the word religion, it is not a bad word.
other names for the christian religion or christianity according to the bible are FAITH, GOD'S KINGDOM, THE CHURCH, ETERNAL LIFE ON EARTH etc.
all these refers to people (adherents of Christianity ) who are the saved people, people who have Jesus living in them as a religion

You may call it that,but it is far more than that in every sense,true the first step is to believe but after that comes greater things that you can actually practice and put to work...it is an everyday thing!

how is Christianity a way of life?
Christianity started in Antioch, present day Turkey. The disciples of Jesus were the first people to be called Christians because they lived like Christ and acted like him while he was on earth and the people didn't see a befitting name to call them but simply called them Christians(Christ-like). Mind you when all these were happening the people already have their Jewish religion and customs with them. So if Christianity is a religion, why didn't the first observers of the disciples look for a name within their religious beliefs to call them? This goes to show that Christianity has nothing to do with religion. It's simply living after a man's ways of life ie Jesus Christ and that man is God himself who has ever been even before man formed his first religion which I don't know about.
Christianity is not a religion.
Christ is bigger than any religion doctrine of man.

ok,
what you are telling is that, those disciples who believed in Christ immediately after Jesus resurrected to the time of the naming at Antioch were never Christians?
you are saying that all those who had the holy ghost baptism on pentecost in act chapter 2,were never christians?
remember, holy ghost baptism has happened long before the naming at Antioch

They were called the followers of Jesus bro.... that name Christians just came about to simplified the sentence. Everything you said is correct. Christians sort of gave them a name ie proper noun. And if you check the word Christians was even hardly used despite that naming that happened in Antioch. But people gradually changed from being called the disciples or followers of Jesus commonly to being called Christians, all still the same but with a change in nomenclature. Wow... you know your bible.
