Galatians 1:4a, 6

Speaking of Jesus, Paul says "who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world."

A couple of lines later, he says, "I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ..."

In both verses, unless I read wrongly, Paul stresses the personal relationship with Jesus. This is not a religion of rituals -- there may be rituals involved, but they are not the point. Jesus is. What you turn your back on when you walk away from all this, is not the building you congregated in or the pastor or the congregants. It is not the set of beliefs or the forms. It's Jesus. By the same token what you get when you believe is not rules and regulations, it's not membership into a club, it's a relationship with Jesus. Paul, in these two verses, is trying to bring the Galatians back to that fundamental truth.
