Faith vs. Religion: Understanding True Christian Growth Galatians Pt. 21

Are you growing in Christ's likeness? In this episode of our Galatians devotional series, we explore the crucial difference between faith and religion, and examine what genuine spiritual growth looks like.

We dive into four distinct groups of people and their relationship with faith:

• Those who don't believe in God or see value in religion
• Non-believers who recognize religion's cultural value
• Generic believers who embrace all types of religion
• Those who believe in Jesus but add works as requirements

This week we focus on two groups who both understand that salvation comes through faith in Jesus alone, not through works. However, they disagree on a fundamental question: How do we actually grow to become more like Christ?

Key Questions Explored:

• Are you becoming kinder, less angry, and more loving?
• Do others notice positive changes in your life?
• What's the difference between justification and sanctification?
• How do we move from being saved to becoming Christ-like?

Join us as we examine the difference between religion (our attempt to reach up to God) and Christianity (God reaching down to us). Discover why Christianity isn't about "I do" but about "He has done."
