Let it be according to your faith



“Religion” is defined as trying to get something from God, that he has already given. It is living in unbelief. It is almost like you are saying that you need to do a few things right in order to get something from God. Once you have done those things, you feel qualified or disqualified to receive from God. And you probably might get what you then expect.


“Let is be according to your faith"


Religion keeps us endlessly occupied with self efforts. Looking to yourself and measuring your performance against others and God. You might give up after a while, or you might push yourself and become blindly self-righteous.


Faith, is the opposite. Turning your eyes completely away from your own perceived accomplishments or failures and putting them on the fully accomplished work on the cross. There where He has already qualified us all.


Its not about you anymore, it’s about Jesus and his cross. The cross where you died with him.
