According to him, there is the need for every believer to see the difference between religion and Christianity emphasizing that being a true Christian implies that one has been able to build a relationship with Jesus Christ, through whom salvation is guaranteed.


“Religion is when you come to church. We preach, you shout, you say amen and all that. That is religion, I use this opportunity to tell everybody if you have been in religion all this while please come out of it and have a relationship with Jesus Christ the son of the living God who is able to deliver you and save you,” he stated.

For Christians, Jesus Christ as outlined in the book of John Chapter 14, is the conduit through whom salvation and access to God is assured.

It is therefore a point for every preacher to reiterate this, especially on Christmas day that is used to commemorate his birth.
