Saved by religion

Saved by religion ? Religion is the fashionable substitute for belief. - Oscar Wilde study recently published by The Graduate Center of City University of New York, showed that the number of adults who say they subscribe to no religion rose from 14.3 million in 1990 to 29.4 million in 2001. This represents an increase of 205 percent during the period of time! According to the study director Egon Mayer and Barry KOSMIN? This study found a growing broadband and possibly of secularism among Americans. And 'the laity, the unchurched, those who do not profess faith in a religion. For whom? Not profess faith in a religion?, Praise the Lord! Friends, the Scriptures tell us that thanks to the person and work of Jesus Christ has saved us many, many things. He has saved us from our sins (Matthew 1:21), died (Matthew 8:25), this perverse generation (Acts 2:40), the wrath of God (Romans 5:9), and death (Romans 6:23). Amen to that! However, there is something different, we have expressed, and that does not seem to go unnoticed by many centuries and that is our problem? Religion. Webster's Collegiate Dictionary traces the word? Religion? Back to the Latin word religio meaning? tie, bind, limit. The word is a combination of two words, re-ligar. The prefix re mean? Back? ligar, and from which we have our word binding, means? to bind. Perhaps no human word describes more accurately centered, performance-based systems reward-punishment that men have prepared to win God? S and promote the acceptance of this word? Religion? also known as? retu to servitude. That Jesus Christ came to almost 2000 years was not to bring into bondage, but deliver us from him. E? T came to create a new system of laws and regulations of life. He came to blow in a way that we can now serve the newness of the Spirit and not in the letter of the old (Rom. 7:6). In fact, religious and self-righteous of his day that Jesus had to say more than sentencing. Why? Because they were the main, to the extent that a real relationship with God through the enticements of the wicked deception Satan has always used against humanity? religion? The foundations of all religion is performance? if? tribal dance around the fire to meet the god of fire, or a dead religious activity, week after week by an evangelical Christian with the intention of impressing his God? And all the religious and the performance is not God? T impressed by our performance. What strikes him is authentic. - Steve McVey, Grace Book Landín Paul? The letter to the Galatians, he reminds them that it was seriously for freedom that Christ has set us free, therefore keep standing firm and not to be subjected again to a yoke of slavery (Galatians 5: 1). Like many, even today, however, the Galatians are not firm in faith and, therefore, referred to slavery that Christ has saved them. They were a yoke of slavery. Is it any wonder that Paul says that these people were dear? Bewitched? After all, who in their mind would ever want to give up right to the joy of freedom from misery, once the easement? It is only those who were bewitched, deceived and confused by something that seems to be the real thing? And that something is haunted religion.Religion, first and foremost, for the correction of men. The Gospel, however, is obsessed with the proclamation of the correction work of a man. Religion places the man and what he can do on stage. The gospel shines the light on who wrote the piece. Goethe wrote that? For a man to achieve all that is required of him, he should consider himself more than he. Likewise for a man to achieve all that was required by religion, he should consider himself more than he. And 'the falsity of any religion, that man is powerful and able to make itself right before God. " Then Sir Richard Francis Burton to be much when he said, "the study religions the more I am convinced that man never worshiped anything but himself? To believe the Gospel is saved from the tyranny of religion? S applications. It puts into your mind, a new spirit nurtured by the truth, rather than contamination with lies! It 'free to rest in all that He has done for you, rather than the slavery of fear of not having done enough for him. In reality, your moment by moment, trust in the Gospel of the grace of God is the antidote to the poison of religion and all the symptoms that go with it.The truth of the Gospel is that you have been saved by religion and its endless requests, whether you know, understand, believe it or not. Jesus has given you your freedom! Now you have the privilege of resting from your works so that you can see the Son. However, it is only through faith in the truth that we live and enjoy the freedom that is yours. Unfortunately, there are many saints in the history of today and have everything in Christ for years and still wallowed in poverty because of the spiritual unbelief.Friend, He saved us, no not on the basis of acts which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy (Titus 3:5). Do not be among those who are still chained to the traditions of men who seek their way to work for justice. Get rid of this yoke of slavery. I believe the Gospel. You're only through faith in Jesus Christ and not by works you've done or not done.If died with Christ to the elementary principles of the world, because if you live in the world, is presented to you decrees, how? Do not handle, not the taste, do not touch? (which relate to all things destined to perish with use)? in accordance with the commandments and teachings of men? These questions, which are, of course, the look of the wisdom of religion in itself and self-humiliation and severe treatment of the body, but are of no value against fleshly indulgence. Colossians 2:20-23Do not replace the religion of simple faith in Jesus Christ. Religion offers no hope for the hope, the rest do not get tired, not peace for the difficulty, not to release prisoners, and not the life to life. It is believed that the Gospel were saved from slavery to religion. The more confidence, and rest in the stronger position in the faith, the more you will see religion for what it really is? a counterfeit.Friend through faith in Christ, you are saved! Saved from your sins, saved from perishing, saved from this perverse generation, saved from wrath, saved from death? and saved by religion! Now is the time, today is the day to leave? Substitution method? behind his servitude and freedom of the real thing? faith in Jesus Christ! Grace and peace to you all!
