I wouldn't walk across the street for religion,
But I'm willing to go around the world for the sake of the Gospel.
There is a great difference between the two.

Religion is manmade;
The gospel is God-given.

Religion is what man does for God;
The Gospel is what God has done for man.

Religion is man trying to climb the ladder of his own
self-righteousness,
with the hope of meeting God on the topmost rung.
The Gospel is God coming down the ladder of the incarnation
of Jesus Christ and meeting us as sinners at the lowest rung.

Religion is good view;
The Gospel is good news.

Religion is good advice;
The Gospel is a glorious announcement.

Religion takes a man and leaves him as he is;
The Gospel takes a man as he is and makes
him what he ought to be.

Religion ends in an outer reformation;
The Gospel makes an inward recreation.

Religion white washes;
The Gospel washes white.

Religion often becomes a farce.
The Gospel is always a force, the power
of God unto salvation to everyone who believes.

There are many religions, but only One Gospel.

He who loses money loses much;
He who loses a friend loses more;
He who loses faith loses all.
