May I say to you the curse of the world is religion, and God would like for you to get rid of religion and come to Christ. I mentioned that to a man not too long ago, and immediately he countered by saying to me, “I want you to know, Dr. McGee, I’m a religious man.” He said, “You know, I’m a religious man by nature.” And I think I shocked him. I said to him, “Brother, you ought to get rid of your religion.” He says, “Why, aren’t you a religious man?” I said, “No, I’m not. I’m one that came as a sinner to Christ, and I have a relationship today with a Person.” That’s no religion; it’s a relationship. And that’s the important thing.

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