Jesus Christ’s Conviction on Religion

It was great to have a fair few more people at church again this morning and an absolutely lovely day to be in the house of God listening to His word and enjoying the air-conditioning that we’ve been blessed with! This week we had John Gadenne preaching a message which he titled ‘Jesus Christ’s Conviction on Religion’.

This message was very powerful and reminded each of us that we don’t need religion, we need Jesus Christ! Our faith and relationship with God is very important and we need to be careful that we are not falling into religious acts just because we know we should be doing them. For example we need to be praying continually because we are communicating and listening to God, not just because it’s something we ‘should’ be doing. The same goes for reading our bible and going to church. These things need to be alive in our lives, not just stale practices that we do each day.

When we start to follow religion over Christ we will notice that Christ is not in our lives as much. Our role as Christians is not to point out to everyone what they are doing wrong all the time rather to show the great love of Christ to other. Ask God to help you each day as you read, pray and attend church. When you’re living day by day for Christ and not for religion, you will find great joy, love and peace in all aspect of your life and you’ll notice that worry and tension leave your life!!!! It’s certainly a blessing to live for God each day!!!!

Perfect Faith is Following Christ!
