What the Bible says about Re-ligare -"To bind fast"
(From Forerunner Commentary)

Isaiah 59:2 The word “religion” comes from the Latin re-ligare, meaning, “to bind fast.” Religion therefore requires a connection with God, and where it is lacking, true religion soon begins to fail. Sin violates the relationship—or the connection—we have with God. We can liken this to a deteriorating relationship between a headstrong child and parent. As long as the child remains unyielding, the likelihood of a mature and balanced relationship, and thus growth, is greatly diminished. The solution is found in the very nature of God: love. What is love? “This is love, that we walk according to His commandments” (ll John 6). “Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law” (Romans 13:10). Martin G.
