Tired of religion?

Religion has probably caused more destruction, despair and disillusionment than any other issue in the history of mankind.

Religion is man’s way to get to God. It generally involves dedication to a set of rules, rituals, or even good ideas for life. But God knows it is impossible for us to meet his standard of behavior. No matter how well we perform in this life, God’s acceptable standard can never be met by mankind. But God wants us to know and enjoy him so he has made a way for us to stand right in his sight. This way doesn’t rely on a level of our performance. His way is through faith in His Son Jesus Christ.

Jesus (who is perfect) died on the cross to open the way for mankind to be right in God’s sight. He did this on our behalf. He was our substitute as we are incapable of bringing ourselves into right relationship with God. By believing and accepting that Jesus did this for us gives us the right to be blameless in God’s sight. When God looks at us he no longer sees our imperfections but sees Jesus’ right standing with God.

Perhaps the worst thing about religion is that those who practice (and promote) it can actually believe that God is happy with their actions. Nothing could be further from the truth. Religion deceives people into having a hope which is false.

Maybe you need to do away with religion and performance based approval systems. Open your heart to the work that Jesus has done to make you right, perfect and blameless in God’s sight.
