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 for 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 of Jesus the
mighty to save.
