God is a relationship not a religion

I like many thought it was a religion until He found what I was waiting for what I was born for that he has known me since the foundation of the world. My favorite verse in the bible is John: 3:16 God so loved the world(I like to put my name here) that he gave his only begotton Son so that those who believe in Him shall never die but have everlasting life. God did not send His Son into the world to condem it but that the world be saved through Him. He who does not believe in Him is condemed already but he that does believe in Him has everlasting life. Jesus saved my wife and I seven yrs. ago we went up public. She got cancer which she has been free of since we gave it all to Him he gave it back and did His miracle. I now serve Him as usher at our church on Sundays our life has never been the same He now has our life in his hands we are truly blessed.

Congratulations on your wife's miracle. That's god news.

I was going to edit because I left an "o" out of good. Then I realized that what I typed fit anyways. So I'll leave my post as I typed it.

Good story, but Christianity is a religion and a relationship.
James 1:26-27

Quote:

26 If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person's religion is worthless. 27 Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.

We must be careful not to oversimplify.
But I get your point and am glad that He has saved you & your wife.
And you are serving Him.

So keep on serving & rejoicing!

God didn't heal her because you gave it all; He poured out his loving mercy because God wanted to show his indescribable kindness. He isn't a vending machine, He's unfathomable love, being merciful and compassionate upon all mankind. Sorry to knit pick, but God's love is unconditional, not depending on you but on Himself.

What an amazing God that He should take note of us and show us mercy! What a gracious God that He should heal someone who rebelled against Him in sin!

Praise God! Thanks for sharing your story!

God is a religious. And trust of an individual.... I believe in god. And I deeply trust him.
