welcome to the TJ. One thing you will find common among followers of Jesus Christ is many of them me included prefer to say we have a relationship with Jesus, instead of saying we got religion. religions from most peoples point of view is man made traditions and a bunch of laws to follow. But the bible actually says pure religion is caring for widows and orphans, but most people dont relate that to religion which is a shame.
Nothing in the world compares to having a relationship with our Lord and savior Jesus Christ.
