Been preparing some training materials on sharing the gospel and was struck again by the gospels simplicity and yet its impact. I guess most people think Christians are religious and religion is all about DO. Yet the Bible says we can't do, we are hopeless nothing ever matches up to God's standard, even our very best is tainted.
So how do you answer the question 'When did you become religious?'. Religion is spelt DO. Christianity is spelt DONE, the wonder of the gospel is that there is nothing that I can do because it is all done for me in Christ. I am credited with his perfect son ship whilst he paid for my rebellion.
We just have to accept that we have rebelled against God and there was nothing we could do but await a justice we fully deserved and trust in Jesus to save us and turn and ask him to rule our lives now.
It is no wonder all the gospel writers describe it as such great news and that it turned the Roman world upside down!
