What Is True Religion? - By: Robert A. Searles
What is true religion and true service to God? Does God require
continual fasting, continual sacrifice? Does God require us to have a
sad countenance, and to be constantly clothed with sack cloth and ashes,
and continually be doing some sort of penance to atone for our sins?
No! we could never pay nor atone for our own sins. There has been
provided for us a perfect lamb: a perfect sacrifice which was slain from
the foundation of the world. Once and for all the great transaction is
done. Our sin debt is forever paid if we will receive it. Christ came
into the world to save sinners, "Christ died for our sins according to
the scriptures, he was buried and rose again the third day according to
the scriptures." 1 Corinthians 15: 3,4. He ascended into heaven and is
now at the right hand of God interceding for us
What then does God require of us? God requires us to receive by faith
his free love gift, his son the Lord Jesus Christ as our savior;
believing that Christ died for us, each of us individually, and present
our bodies to him for his service, and allow the Holy Spirit to be in
control.
What kind of
fasting and sacrifice does the Lord require? "Is not this the fast that I
have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy
burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?
Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor
that are cast out to thy house? When thou seest the naked, that thou
cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?" Isaiah
58: 6,7.
The world is
bound in wickedness, we who know the Lord have a message and a testimony
for the world, that if they will accept the truth of the word of God,
the heavy burdens will be lifted and the oppressed will go free. God's
requirement for us is to deal thy bread to the hungry. Feed a man when
he is physically hungry and cannot help himself, but more importantly,
feed him with the bread of life. Tell him
