Religion condemns you for not being perfect! Faith empowers you to receive the love from the Father so that you can love others!

Religion mixes grace and law, which you cannot do.
​Either your righteousness is earned or freely given.
You cannot have it both ways.

The Old Testament demanded that you earn it by your complete obedience to the Law.
The New Testament freely gives you Christ’s righteousness, as a free gift, when you believe the gospel.

Under the New Testament there is no condemnation, for you cannot condemn the forgiven. Religion does not understand the grace of God and will continue to demand that you live a perfect life and will condemn you when you fall short.

Faith understands the redemption In Christ and rejoices over the Fathers great love.
Faith receives God’s love.
Faith receives the free gift of righteousness.
Faith receives the position as a son of God and an heir of God.
​The love of God fills the void in your heart to be loved, accepted, and to have a sense of value. Once the void in your heart is filled with the love of God you are empowered to love others and bear with them.
