Are we really sitting at the feet of Jesus to learn and to be taught by him? Or have we relegated our relationship to isolation and separation from Christ? Relationship with Christ is about knowing the heart of the father, and living according to his will. The bible is the will of God, and helps us understand the heart of the father. Relationship with Christ, is best cultivated in community. Anything can be religion, because religion is customs, traditions, and rituals. Religion is absent to the reality of grace, and perceives salvation alone through acts of good works.
