If you’ve got religion, I suggest you get rid of it and exchange it for Christ. Now I personally do not think you can call Christianity a religion. There’s no ritual given, none whatsoever, with Christianity. Have you ever stopped to think that? That’s the reason that you can have all kinds of churches. You can sing the doxology if you want to. There’s nothing wrong with it and there’s nothing particularly right about it, either. Because you are never given a form to go by. Why? Because Christianity is a person, and you either have Christ or you don’t have Christ. You either trust Christ or you don’t trust Christ.
Get ready to fight the good fight against legalism in Galatians. When this letter was written, it defended the gospel of Christ from people who wanted to reduce it to rules.

Allow grace to revolutionize your own life through these seven lessons from Dr. J. Vernon McGee.
