The Bible has nothing kind to say about religion. Religion doesn't understand the Gospel.
Religion says, "If you obey, God will love you." The Gospel says, "Because God loves you, you can obey."
Religion is about what I do. The Gospel is about what Jesus has done. "It is finished."
Religion is about what we get from God. The Gospel is about getting God.
Religion sees hardship has punishment. The Gospel recognizes there can be good fruit out of hardship and suffering. It's called sanctification. "Jesus was made perfect through his suffering."
