Good Morning!!!... Matthew 23:25... Woe unto you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess... Jesus frequently chastised the religious leaders of His day because although they did lots of good works, they did them with wrong motives. A lot of religious work does not always mean we are closer to God!!!.. Sometimes too much religious activities can keep us from having an intimate relationship with God and also hearing Him speak to us. Religious people do many things to enhance their reputation, rather than to serve God. They may engage in all sorts of good works, but they rarely if ever, engage in really sharing their hearts with God or allowing Him to share His with them. These people seldom truly hear Gods voice or enjoy deep communion with Him. Jesus died to open the way for us to have a relationship with God and that should ALWAYS come BEFORE any good works!!!... God is concerned with why we do things than He is with what we do when it comes to religious works. He said true religion is to visit, help, and care for widows and orphans in their affliction ( James 1:27) God wants us to genuinely love and care for hurting people much more than He wants us to try to impress one another. We should focus more on our relationship with God and not on a lot of religious works and things!!... Have a Blessed Day!!!
