Religious ? Are you ?

Many people who are religious know nothing about salvation.

Religion is of human origin, and it almost always requires that we do something.

God’s salvation, however, is entirely His work on our behalf.

It requires absolutely nothing, since God has already accomplished all that is necessary. Our part is to simply accept it by faith.

The greatest spiritual truth of all is what God has done to redeem us from our sin. By giving His Son to die in our place, God has paid the price of our sin and is able to save us from the bondage and dissatisfaction that comes with it.

I believe one of the reasons so many people, so many religious people, are dissatisfied is that they perceive religion as something we do for God.

But true peace begins when we accept what God has done for us!

The Bible says,

For by grace are ye saved through faith;

and that not of yourselves:

it is the gift of God:

not of works, lest any man should boast

(Ephesians 2:8,9).

You see, if salvation were something we could earn for ourselves, it would only contribute to our pride, for when we earned salvation, we would have much about which to brag and boast.

If we are to receive salvation from our sins, we must receive it as a gift, not as a meritorious award for service.

[Rom 3:10, 23 KJV] 10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: ... 23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
