True Religion

"I am the way and the truth and the life; no man comes to my Father except by me." John 14:6

Religion or Relationship? What is the True Religion?

Jesus also said in John 15:1 that He is the "True Vine". Notice that He said that in the present tense. He is the only one who can save us. No other God can save us. Religion can't save us. Good works can't save us. Nor can Buddha, or Hare Krishna, or Allah. Only Jesus. Christianity is the only religion where there is a Savior who actually died for all of us so that we could end up in Heaven for all eternity. In Christianity, there are definite answers for everything from sickness to false prophets. Unlike what some people believe, Christianity is not a religion of pessimism and arrogance. it is a religion of hope and humility. Of love and of understanding.

There is a definite Heaven and a definite Hell. There are also definite answers as to what will happen in the future. In true Christianity, there is no deception. You don't have to spend a dime to know what will happen. There are answers to combat fear, hate, and drug addiction. And most of all, there is a God who loves and believes in you even if don't believe in Him.

Christianity is a religion of faith. Hebrews 11:1 says, "faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." No matter what you face, in Christianity, you have a God who is always there for you. "He will never leave you nor forsake you." God is a God of deliverance, and of freedom, and of mercy. God is a God of might and strength.

In fact, He is also the Creator of the Universe. He knows your name and EVERYTHING else about you. God has a plan for each and everyone of us. He is the God of provision, so don't worry about your needs. In fact, don't worry at all, for if you are His, there is a mansion in Heaven just for you. John 14:2-3 says that His Son, Jesus Christ, will come back for you one day soon.

But God is also a Jealous God. All those who do not worship Him are committing idolatry. It is one of the Ten Commandments. Notice I wrote Commandments, not Suggestions. "For you shall worship no other god; for the Lord whose name is jealous is a jealous God." (Exodus 34:14) God is certainly not pleased with those who practice idolatry.

This is a sin that should not be taken lightly. This is something I am telling you out of love. In the Book of Revelation, those who do not repent for their idolatry will be killed by plagues and "those who were not killed by these plagues neither repented of the works of their hands, that is to say, the worship of devils and idols of gold and silver and brass and stone and of wood, which can neither see nor hear, nor repented of their murders nor of their witchcraft nor of their fornication nor of their thefts". (Revelation 9:20-21). Jesus also said in Luke 21, "Be careful that you be not deceived." If you worship any other god than the True God of Heaven, then you have been deceived. If you are religious or following world religions, then you have been deceived. Let me warn you that unbelievers are among those who will have their part in the lake of fire. (Revelation 21:8)

If you don't know the True Living God or you are not sure that you are saved, please pray this prayer:
"Lord Jesus, forgive me of all of my sins. I want a relationship with you and know the True Living God. Come into my heart and be the Lord of my life. Save my soul and give me eternal life. I ask that my name be written in the Lamb's Book of Life. In Jesus' name, Amen".
