    Hello Leshawn,

    If by religious you mean coming to God for mercy and grace with the hope of being accepted by Him. If by religious you mean that you want to know God more and more and live for Him each day. If by religious you desire to live rightly but cannot. then I have good news for you. Anyone who desires to be religious in these ways can find acceptance and salvation in Jesus our Savior, He is the one who gave Himself for us so that we can be religious in the ways I've spoken of. We will be taken into communion with

    God through Jesus and have a new nature that causes us to obey God and live to His glory.

    The Gospel only speaks of Jesus and His saving work for us on the cross of Calvary as our substitute to bear the condemnation we deserve for our sins and then to rise victoriously from death to reign as our Lord and King.

    You can find out more about this in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John along with the writings of Paul in the Epistles that follow the book of Acts. I recommend that you begin reading the Bible as I have suggested. Also, you may wish to meet with a Christian pastor who is willing to sit down with you and show you what the gospel of Jesus is in Scripture and how you can receive salvation in Jesus by believing the gospel message.

    I will be praying for you in your desire to come to God according to the terms of the Gospel message. Check back with us to keep us up to date on your journey with God.

    Please know that it is not a religion with rules that we are to follow but a relationship with Our Lord Jesus Christ!!! Ask His forgiveness in whatever is on your heart. He loves you as if you are the only person on earth! Accept Him as your Lord and Savior, believing that He died on a cross for your salvation, so you can return to Heaven some day! He wants you to talk to Him and have a wonderful relationship with Him!! There is nothing in this world that compares to knowing how much He loves you!! Praying you find what you need in a church. You will be utterly amazed at what Jesus will do in your heart! God BLess you immensely!!
