Faith or Religion?
When you are ask about your believes, do you have more region or do you more faith? As I talk to people, I hear how some talk about their religion. You may ask me what is the difference. Their is a lot of difference between them.
Religion is any specific system of belief, worship, conduct, often involving a code of ethics and philosophy;
Faith is complete trust, confidence, or reliance of something.
Now you can see the two are different. Christ Jesus came to teach us the difference and to learn to have total faith in Him. Jesus broke the old ways of the Jewish laws, Because we could never keep them. Now we have different churches making their own rules on how to get saved, or what you can or can not do. I am not saying you have free range to do as you want, no not at all.
But through the faith of Christ Jesus, you will want to follow His ways. Those can be found in the King James Bible, and those Preachers, Minster, Reverend, or leaders who use the King James Bibles. Only Gods word can lead you to follow God. So as you listen to your Preacher, Minster, Reverend, or leader, Follow what he reading and telling you, so later on you can look up what he said and reread it, to under stand it better.
Religion is made by man and we know that man's ways are not God's way. Each religion may start out with good intentions. God sent Jesus to us to make it easy for all of us to be saved, and follow His teaching. It is human nature to want to make thing hard. We feel if we are not losing out on something, or being punish, then it cant not be right.
Jesus died to bring us to be with God to make it easy for us. The Holy Spirit is what Christ Jesus give us once we confess Spirit help us grow in the word of God, Only through hearing and reading can we grow learn more about God, and His ways, we need both.
No religion is going to get you to heaven, only one way is going to get you there! Faith in Christ Jesus, the one true son of God. Christ Jesus died for ALL the world's sins, that means yours and mine. I beg you now, Please see if you are following is the Faith of Christ Jesus, or the religion of man and of the word.
If I can help you please call or E-mail me.
God Bless
Reverend Dale Merchant.
