The Christian life is about cultivating your relationship with Christ, not running on a religious treadmill.

Pastor Chuck Swindoll discusses how "religion" is a counterfeit for genuine spiritual growth. He unpacks the traditions and works that the Jews relied on instead of faith in the Messiah (Romans 2).

Instead of trusting in your good works or religious activities, seek Christ and trust Him. Don’t add to what Christ has already accomplished. Cling to the cross!
