How can we ensure we are not being religious but knowing God?

Answered in 1 source

We ensure we are knowing God by relying on His righteousness rather than our own religious efforts.

To distinguish between mere religion and a genuine relationship with God, one must examine the foundation of their faith. Romans 10 points out that many are zealous for God but lack the knowledge of true righteousness. We must reject self-righteousness and the idea that our good works can earn favor with God. Instead, we need to humbly accept that true holiness comes only through faith in Christ. This involves recognizing our sinful state, confessing our dependency on His grace, and embracing the truth of the Gospel. Knowing God means knowing His righteousness through Christ and living out that relationship in faith and love.
