Religion reeks of duty and endless obligations to the church - Relationship is the passionate DESIRE to know God and from this desire people are moved to serve.
Think of your church and the people there - are they wildly desiring to know God or do they seem to be bogged down under the pressure to do more and more for the church?
Did Jesus say to Matthew (tax collector and viewed as the lowest of sinners), "Son, you need to go to church and get religion and do good deeds and then maybe you will be saved"? Nah. He preferred two words, "Follow Me!"
