It is not religion, it's salvation
Today, about half an hour after that lady's encounter, I get approached by another woman (in English this time). She just stops in front of me for a few seconds, and then says "why don't you join my religion." As she walks away, I tell her that this is not about religion, but about her soul's salvation.
I just wish and pray that people realize that we do not do this every Saturday in hopes of forcing them in joining our religion, or our church. We are simply following Christ's commandment to preach His word.
Jesus Christ is our greatest ensample and we ought to follow in His footsteps. He was anointed by God the Father to preach and to teach the Word of God to all the sinners of the world, and that includes us all.
Luk 4:18-19 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
I just wish and pray that people realize that this is not about religion, but about their salvation!
Act 13:26 Men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.
In the end, there is only one true "religion", and that is the Lord Jesus Christ.

You keep sowing the seed and in due time you shall reap. Remember the song "we shall come rejoicing bringing in the sheaves".

That's exactly what I told a girl at school. True Christianity is not a religion, it's a relationship.

Great minds think alike :)
You're right, true Christianity is a personal relationship and daily walk with our Saviour Jesus Christ.

A friend of mine says that Christianity is not religious, but judicial. It is about man being judicially declared righteous before God.
Perhaps this is a little simplistic, but he touches on the heart of the truth.
Every Blessing in Christ

Oh, good point, Matthew! Sarah, that approach might be especially helpful when talking to people familiar with the legal system.

Hehe, that's what I also thought, since I work in a legal office.
How cool!
