I can imagine the shock that the religious (but born again) person may experience once they realize the reality of Galatians 2:20, that it is about them, personally! Instead of automatically rejecting the truth of this scripture, it is time to seriously find out who you REALLY are, according to the accomplishments of Jesus Christ. This challenge to embrace the "release from the bondage of sin" is further amplified by noting how God wills us to live now:
Ephesians 5:1 Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. (ESV)
What Jesus Christ accomplished for us far exceeds what religion has ever taught.
The word "religion" has dark roots! It comes from the Latin word "religio" which means "obligation, bond, adherence." The exact origins stem from the Latin verb "religare" meaning "to bind or to tie." This idea of being bound or tied relates to the bonds of faith by obligation and the commitment to obeying the beliefs or practices of a human scholar. Indwelt Christianity is not a religion - it is the release of the person of Truth, Yeshua.
