Religion and Jesus

Now let me show you the difference between Jesus and religion Some of you might be blind, get ready to gain some vision Now religion and Jesus are two different things Jesus is different in the joy that he brings See religion always requires us to do more It doesn’t seem like a blessing, but more like a chore It takes hold of us, it becomes our master You better watch out cause its coming faster and faster What it requires of us is always more works And if we do better, then in return we get more perks It’s like the more we do, the higher we are on the latter But the higher we get, the more room we have to fall and shatter Aiming for works will only leave you graspin’ It’s gonna hurt so bad, youre gonna need an asprin All it does is take from us, its never enough Its not focused on Jesus but on all this other stuff Its all about our outward appearance And that we can look better with just a little more perseverance Our inside is dirty, so we try to mask it But we don’t realize that its just putting us deeper into a casket The outside might be pretty, but the inside is unclean It becomes so regular, you start to become like a machine Alright cmon lets take a closer look Youre not a christain just cause it says so on your facebook You start to find yourself just going through the motions You think youre saved only because you do devotions Now devotions are awesome, but they must come from the heart Don’t get me wrong, they’re a great place to start You go to church? Ya that’s great But that alone doesn’t get you through the heavenly gate But all we need is grace found in Jesus We need to think more about him, and not just whatever pleases us For he is truly the only thing we need And to get this, all we need to do is believe Jesus wants us, he’s calling us in He loves us despite of all of our sin Hes calling us close, not pushing us away like a broom Hes pulling us in saying cmon theres room Jesus death was truly sufficient So the question is why are we acting so resistant? He saved us for sure, no strings attached To this, no other guarantee can be matched There is no better offer that we can get We can forever be with God, our future will be set This is the way it was intended, even from our birth For God takes us in and shows us what we are worth So we were adopted and are now to him a son or daughter But not to an earthly man, but to the heavenly father Man look at that, what a happy reunion We can all sit at his table and take part in his communion And now, we’re all together again And that’s how its gonna be to the very end Now remember, Religion says Do, Jesus says Done The only reason we’re saved is because of the Son Between religion and Jesus, you have to know the difference Because from sin Jesus is our only source of deliverance
