Sometimes the impression is given that questioning the church, religion, or the Bible isn't allowed. But if Jesus didn't allow questions, that would mean he wasn’t much of a teacher. During his ministry he demonstrated patience and willingness to answer all kinds of questions, both from his followers and from his opponents. Today we consider the question: Why do I need religion? In today’s world, “religion” is almost seen as a dirty word. And according to Jesus, many times it can be. If religion is defined as our own self-made solutions to the problem of sin, religion is rightly condemned. However, true religion is the solution to sin that comes from God to us: the perfect life and innocent death of Christ in our place.
