That's a good question! --> Why do human beings need religion?
To say that humans need religion is a bit like saying a thirsty man needs a cup. His real need is not for the cup but for what's in it. The cup is just the container for what he needs most: life-giving water.
As humans we have a chronic spiritual thirst. This thirst can only be quenched by God. He is the living water our soulds crave.
Religion claims to be the cup where parched men and women can find the God they thirt for. Sadly, religion has often proven to be a cracked, dusty, or even empty container. Many religious people have found that rules and rituals can't satisfy their thirst for God. They rsonate with Bono's words: "I still haven't found what i'm looking for."
Jesus was speaking to religious people when He said, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him." (John 7:37-38) Jesus offered people what they needed most: a relationship with God. A relationship that is freely given to all who trust in HIm. A relationship that satisfies our deepest thirst.
As a follower of Christ, I am committed to living out His teachings and am connected to a church community. So you could say i'm a religious person. But i'd be quick to tell you that it's not religion that quenches my thirsty soul, it's a relationship with Christ. That's what humans really need.
