Religion, an illusion that has encapsulated GOD children and has placed them beyond the fullness of GOD. The protocols of worship and the processions that follows has made the essences of Redemption of less effect. Before the coming of the Son of GOD in the flesh, GOD saw that the religion of HIS children - Israel - didnt give HIM the type of Relationship HE wanted. It rather separated HIM from them - the outter court, the inner court, the Holy place and the Holy of Holist - that was why HE announced that he would give us a heart of flesh and a new spirit (Ezekiel 11:19; 36:26). Why the heart of flesh? The answer is simple: HE wants us to know HIM Intimately and Emotionally. Not the one-way-killing-GOD-if-we-are-caught-in-sin-and-enter-into-HIS-Presence! No! Religion gives you that impression and religion would not bring you close to GOD as HE wants you to be - Religion is the stony heart, the lifestyle of sacrifice of animal and forever guilt. Why a new Spirit? GOD is not anymore a GOD confined in a place. HE is the GOD of everywhere and anywhere. And that was why JESUS said to the woman at the well that the time would come when you shall no longer worship the Father... in a place, but if you most, youd worship HIM in Spirit and in truth (John 4:21-24). Notice that JESUS didnt say ...would worship GOD... But HE said ...would worship the Father... Why the Father and not GOD? Simple, HE has removed the stony heart and has given us the heart of flesh - the heart of Intimacy, Passion and Emotion. The heart that sees GOD as a Loving and Caring Father that HE truly is. Dont get me wrong, Im not saying do away with Church no! Im saying do away with religion and embrace Relationship that is what Salvation is all about. Relationship and not Religion! Religion keep one far from knowing GOD as the true Father HE is. It makes us depend on other people (HUMAN!!!) to get to our Father on our behalf when GOD expects us to ..e boldly before the (HIS) throne... (Hebrews 4:16). Religion tends to put back the stony heart back into us and make us to be man-pleasers rather than enjoying the best Relationship with the Father. Christianity is Life! The Life of CHRIST in us. It is the Life you receive when you accept and welcome JESUS CHRIST into you. It is the exchanged Life, the one you once had for the one HE gives. It is the Life of direct Relationship not dependent relationship, it is you having the Spirit in you that calls out to GOD Abba Father. #JESUSstillcares...
