When Jesus was on the earth He frequently confronted the difference between religion and spirituality. He emphasized the spiritual life isn't simply saying the right words and following certain traditions, it's about a personal relationship with a loving God. We should want God to transform our minds and hearts and for this to happen, we need to be saturated in Jesus. The inmate was on to something. He knew that Christianity is more than just taking out fire insurance. Jesus offers what religion cannot: restoration, peace, and fulfillment in Him (John 6:35).
