"It's not religion that saves; it's faith."
I live for Sundays. I live for these words. I live for His words. No, it hasn't always been like this. It took me a long time to get to where I'm standing now and I know that I'm nowhere near the end, but I feel like I have learned so much, grown so much spiritually, and each passing Sunday only makes me fall deeper in love with Him and His love for me.
"Trust God to reveal the things you'll need to know with regard to the future."
I have come to understand that salvation requires not religion and its discriminations, but pure faith. And it has been a long and difficult journey, but at this moment I am finally able to fully comprehend the phrase, "God is enough".
Because I don't need religions to tell me that I have to abstain from eating pork or celebrating birthdays, or that I have to pray the rosary to be saved. My Savior, Jesus Christ, will save me. No one else. Nothing else. He is enough--no, more than enough. Because He's bigger than any of the mistakes I have made, and His love for me is bigger than anything I--or anyone of us--can ever imagine.
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,
that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
- John 3:16
