Christianity was never meant to be a religion. A religion by definition is a means of humanity finding ways to bridge the gap to God. But Christianity reveals the exact opposite. It declares that God has incarnated Himself to bridge the gap. He has taken initiative while we could not or were not even interested. Faith now is simply believing God's initiative in declaring us innocent... His Son became the scapegoat. There is now no more effort on our behalf to reach God. He took all the effort upon Himself. This is the message God has planned to reveal to humanity throughout the ages. Those who hear and believe will find themselves face to face with their own creator, never to be separated again. They will find their true selves and live from the platform of innocence and total fulfilment.
And all these things are from God who reconciled us to himself through Christ, and who has given us the ministry of reconciliation. In other words, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting people’s trespasses against them, and he has given us the message of reconciliation. (2 Corinthians 5:18, 19 NET)
