In the episode we explore the everlasting discussion of what is more important for salvation-Religion or Relationship (in particular, with Jesus Christ). Listeners are encouraged to understand and focus on what God wants, a living relationship with Him. The focus should be on Jesus and not religious behavior or practices. Religion can be focused on rituals and rules based primarily on fear, and was criticized by Jesus if the basis was rooted in hypocrisy or contain a lack of heart and love. Religion can be utilized as a cover for the sinful nature of man based on worldly views and also can lack the presence of God. We are saved by God's gift of grace and not the works that we have done, but for God's love for us in Christ Jesus. In His teachings, Jesus emphasized the importance of having a true relationship with Him, and in that relationship, believers are given access to God.
