False Religion


False religion does not necessarily omit the name of Jesus.  Nor does it necessarily toss away the Holy Bible.

Rather than meet the Holy Lord in this life, most men will gladly receive a likeness of His fruit in His people.  They call them holy doings.  They call His words holy words.  But they often only speak and act as if they are trained animals.

All the while the Lord’s promise stands true and sure.  If we will diligently seek His ways, abandon our shame, and seek his beautiful face, he will see from heaven and turn and make us human.

In this promised humanity is godliness.  But in the false religion of mimicking,  there is only lie; a mocking of what the Lord is willing to provide.

That is why it is written, “They will have a form of religion but deny the power of it.” 

Such practices ignore what the Lord said himself, “39 You study the Scriptures diligently because you think that in them you have eternal life. These are the very Scriptures that testify about me, 40 yet you refuse to come to me to have life.” 

They have not escaped the coming wrath.  They have only invented their own salvation.  The Lord is not blind.  “The Way” is not obscured because they do not search for it.

Be wise and hear these things.  He who is of God honors Him and does what is of God.  He who is of man dishonors God and does what pleases man.  Flesh gives birth to flesh.  But the Spirit gives birth to spirit.

Holy Father in heaven, I will honor You with what You have given me.  These words I have written before Your Holy Face are true.  No man has unless he has received. 

Your compassion is endlessly great.  I testify to Your willingness to share what is good.  Be honored by Your words.  Accompany them with great strength and promise.  You are the Living God in Jesus your Holy Son.  By Your grace alone, in this you are glorified.

By His Grace
