The Deadness of Religion.
The existence of, the provider of, the sustainer of, the fulfillment of, the source of, the freedom of, the justifier of, the qualifier of and the approver of
man's relationship with God is NOT RELIGION...it IS JESUS!
Religion did not overcome death for us, religion did not take man's sin upon itself, religion was nailed to the cross with Jesus. However, unlike Jesus, religion was never to be resurrected but, because of the deception of Satan man has dug it up, propped it up, spiritualized it up, and breathed stale life into it, so that though dead, people who are in its deception think it is alive with the life of God.
Religion is a zombi of the living dead because it is Christ-less. Although having the appearance of life it is still dead because Christ is not its source of life.
Jesus is the Who, the Why, the How and the What of our relationship with God is all about. Having taken our sins...past...present...and future...upon himself, He forever lives to maintain, energize and work through His community of the redeemed to bring heaven's atmosphere on earth to fulfill His plan for the community of humanity.
Many in religion will not believe what I have written above because they believe that religion is alive and well. It is only by a proper understanding God's Grace will they come to the realization that Jesus was resurrected to provide freedom from religion's deception.
Jesus did not die to establish Sunday-go-meetings, buildings called churches, segregated denominations, a bible to prove our man-made doctrines, a hierarchy to head His Church, a set of rules and regulations to follow, nor, did He die and rise again to start a new religion called Christianity. He lived, died and rose again to give us LIFE...His LIFE. His life is given to us not to represent a denomination, a belief system, or a set of doctrines, but, to infuse us with His life so the earth would be filled with His glory.
This is Jesus Christ’s claim: “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life; no one comes to the Father but by Me” (John 14:6).
Here is what He promised to those who believe Him: “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free…. Therefore if the Son shall make you free, you shall be free indeed” (John 8:32-36).
We are His dwelling place, He has chosen to reveal Himself to us as a people and live in us. We know Him, are one with Him, and He desires to work through us.
There is no other way to understand true relationship, fulfillment and contentment, even though men claim many other ways in His Name. When you have exhausted yourself in searching for fulfillment and finding none, break free from the deception of religion and allow God to reveal Himself to you. Jesus Christ our Creator, and Him only, can fill the void in man.
Religion is DEAD...Jesus is ALIVE. Choose JESUS.
