So I found out today that I am TOO religious. Well, according to someone out there. Actually to be more precise the quote read: "to religious". I guess the world would consider me a religious person. I do believe, trust in, and rely upon God to provide my needs based upon the promises in His Word from His riches in glory. I believe that Jesus was born of a virgin birth, lived a sinless life, died upon a cross while bearing all the sins of man, was raised from the dead and sits at the right hand of God the Father awaiting his command to go get his children from the earth. I believe that you Must be Born of the Spirit, into the Family of God, by confessing your sins and His Son Jesus as Lord and Saviour, in order to be saved from an eternity in hell. However, religion is of man. God sent Christ not only as the greatest example of love and sacrifice, but also as an example for us, to be Christ like in our daily lives. Hence Christian. We can never hope to BE exactly like Jesus was, but we are to try.
Man created organized religion to try to "prove" how righteous they are. And in some cases to try and say that their way was better than Gods way because of their pride. Me, I am nothing more than a sinner saved by the Grace of God. I am flawed in many ways and have to confess and repent of the same sins as anyone else. And to be clear, Gods words reads that there is no sin greater than any other. So SIN is SIN. We all come to the cross, or throne of God looking the same. It is the Blood of Jesus that washes that sin and allows God to look at us, as apposed to that brief moment he had to look away from Jesus because of all the sin he bore on our behalf.
So...Yes. In the eyes of the world, I am religious...maybe "too" religious...in their minds. If that means I won't have to hear or read some perverted comment on a social network...I'm okay with that. God's word reads 2Ti_2:16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.
