STEEMCHURCH - BELIEVE IN A RELIGION OR IN JESUS CHRIST

in #steemchurch5 years ago

A warm greeting Dear friends and brothers
Welcome to my blog
God bless you!

When they bring you ... before the magistrates and the authorities, do not worry about how or what you will answer, or what you will say; because the Holy Spirit will teach you at the same time what you should say.
Luke 12: 11-12

I read a story on the internet where a Chinese Christian was arrested for his faith and spent a lot of time in prison. Finally he appeared before the court.

"Do you still believe in Christianity?" The judge asked mockingly.

-I do not believe in Christianity, replied the believer.

-Oh no? And then, what do you think?

-I do not believe in a religion, but in Jesus Christ, a living Person.

"Stop making useless distinctions!" Replied the judge.

-You do not understand me, the Christian continued. It can close churches, arrest or kill Christians, ban all religion, and even burn Bibles. But can you touch Jesus Christ? He lives eternally. He lives in my heart. You can not get him out of there. And if he kills me, I'll be with him forever.

There are many religions, but only one Gospel. Religion is the work of man, but the Gospel is a gift from God.

Religion is what man makes of God and wants to do for God; The Gospel is what God did for man through his Son Jesus.

In religions, man seeks God. In the Gospel, God looks for man.

A religion is a system of beliefs and practices through which people hope to progress and exalt their souls. On the contrary, faith in Jesus Christ is a living and personal relationship with the Son of God and with his Father, whom he wants to reveal to us.

Excellent @mosdad, I always say, God does not want religions He only wants you to have it in his heart, so the gospel is not religion but good news of salvation. The gospel is to have an identity based on Jesus Christ, conviction that He lives in our hearts.
God bless you.
