Christianity Is Not A Religion Poem by Qiniso Mogale

Christianity is not a religion
Christianity is a way of life
Christianity is a relationship
Christianity separates itself from other belief
systems
Christianity is not imposed
Christianity permits the freedom of choice.

Christianity is not a religion
Most religions are man centred
In most religions believe that man reaches a higher
power through their own efforts
In most religions man is the aggressor and the
deity the beneficiary of man's own efforts
The deity is a beneficiary of man's sacrifices
The deity is a beneficiary of man's good deeds.

Christianity is not a religion
Christianity is a relationship
Here God is the aggressor and man the beneficiary
God sacrificed His own begotten Son
to save man from his transgressions
He sacrificed His own Son so that man can
be in right standing with Him
God did for man what man can't do for himself.

Christianity is not a religion
Christianity is a relationship
The grace is based on the relationship between
God and man
The relationship is based on God's unconditional love and not man's efforts
Love speaks of a relationship.

Christianity is not a religion
Christianity is a relationship
Man is obedient to God because of love
Christianity is not based on cumbersome rules
Christianity has no strenuous rules
God does not Lord His authority over people
Therefore, Christianity is not a religion.
