In Christianity, religion alone (the act of doing things, force of the will, restraint, etc.) is worthless, even condemned. It&#x27;s about God changing your heart to love Jesus, such that your love and joy for Him overpowers any past love for sinful things.<p>It&#x27;s kind of like romantic love here on earth. When you&#x27;re single, you might really enjoy going out and meeting people (bars, meetups, events, etc.), but once you find and marry &quot;the one&quot;, your enjoyment for such things is nothing compared to your love for your new spouse.
