Most Christians Miss Jesus Because They Follow Religion Instead | Ed Lapiz

In this bold and thought-provoking sermon, Ed Lapiz challenges believers to distinguish between following religious traditions and following Jesus Christ Himself. Through John 5, John 8, Galatians, Romans, Hebrews, and many other passages, Ed Lapiz explains why Jesus came as the Living Word—not merely to reinforce religious systems, but to reveal the Father's love, grace, truth, and freedom. This message explores how legalism can blind people to Christ, why love is the true fulfillment of God's will, and how the Holy Spirit continues to guide believers into truth beyond empty religious performance. This eye-opening message explores: The Living Word versus written religion Why Jesus challenged religious traditions Law versus grace explained Following Christ instead of legalism The role of the Holy Spirit today Love as the fulfillment of God's commands Freedom from religious burdens Hearing the Father's true voice Grace that transforms the heart Becoming true disciples of Jesus Ed Lapiz reminds believers that Christianity is not centered on rituals, fear, or endless religious rules—it is centered on Jesus Christ. When we allow the Holy Spirit to shape our lives through Christ's love and truth, we experience the freedom, peace, compassion, and joy that religion alone can never provide. The Living Word always leads us closer to God's heart and teaches us to love as Jesus loved. #EdLapiz #JesusChrist #Grace #HolySpirit #ChristianFaith
