Religion is a system of rules and orders that followers adhere to as a way of worship to their God. Jesus came to show a new way out of religion to a way of Life. He said He is the Way, the Truth and the Life. Therefore it is possible to belong to a religious order and still follow Him. Most of us are born into a family and adopt the religion of our family. We are born muslim, Hindu or Christian . Now we have to choose to follow Jesus. Even a Christian can be a non believer. Just because one is born into a Christian family does not make one a Jesus follower. One needs to come to a place where conviction of sin and need of a Saviour is revealed. This revelation is a spiritual awakening to all who seek the way of salvation. We are saved from sin and its power to a new life born from above. We were born into this world of corruptible seed. We are born again of incorruptible seed. This means that we inherit eternal life. No man can rob us of this life. God keeps us in this life for eternity. This life is of His Son Jesus who came in the form of sinless man and died to save us from our sin. Sin and death, the result of sin, was defeated once and for all by His resurrection from the dead. Yes therefore you are not defined by your religion but by the life of Jesus in you.
