One thing to note: Christianity doesn't call people to religion. It
is a teaching by Jesus that calls us to repentance and eternal life.
It's different than religion.
Religion says, "Do."
Jesus says "Done."
Jesus completed all work required for our salvation at the cross by
taking our sin upon his own shoulders, and then dying with that sin
charged to his account. He went before God to pay the price of our
sin so that we are set free.
Religion has you doing rituals and things.
Salvation has you set free from sin, restored to eternal life.
Do not confuse the two. What Jesus offers people is salvation from
judgment and condemnation. He offers the path back to God, to be a
part of Heaven, to be a part of God's Kingdom plans.
