The Religion of My Savior

"Try to give up the idea that religion comes to us by chance, or by mystery, or by caprice. It comes to us by natural law, or by supernatural law, for all law is Divine."   - Henry Drummond

Religion shines her heavenly into our eyes, enlightening our judgment, as it surely and steadily guides our understanding along the path of truth. Where did I come from? What is my purpose here? What is my destiny? What or who is God? Are we His creation? How should we pay our respects to, and worship Him? are just some of the many uncertainties we struggle with on the way.

All are excellent questions, which therefore should be answered simply, clearly, and reliably. But don't expect answers to these questions from unassisted reasoning. None can be given. This is distinctly proven by the fact that the heathen philosophers from long ago, who though considered educated and knowledgeable, immersed themselves in the most disgraceful foolishness.

Even modern-day, proud and vain intellectuals, refusing to admit divine revelation as a guide in their search for truth, have blundered just as badly, if not worse. If we query our own intelligence and understanding, what answer do we get? None. The appropriate answer can only be found in the teachings of the Religion, which was founded by the Son of God.

We should then give thanks to our Savior. He is the Light and Truth that shines upon the world, dismissing the darkness of untruth and false beliefs. Heavenly Father it is Your grace alone that makes us holy and wise. Only you can reveal to us where we came from, what our purpose here is, what our duties to You, others, and ourselves are, what our ultimate destiny in eternity is, and so on.

Dear friends, if you love wisdom and care deeply about the truth, listen to the divine Religion of our Savior without any added flaws or omissions. It is the source of light to the mind, and an infinite wealth of peace and comfort to the conscience. As we have been told, "...I am the LORD your God, and that there is no other;" (Joel 2:27).

Scripture: Colossians 2:8; Micah 6:8; Hebrews 13:8; 1 Peter 3:15; 1 Peter 1:8

Prayer: I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me, amen.   - Galatians 2:20

May God bless you always,

Amanda
