Choosing Between Righteousness or Religion 🤔

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature (Galatians 6:15)

William Booth, a Methodist evangelist who began the Salvation Army in England in the center 1800's was once asked what risks he thought lay ahead for Christianity. He answered, "In reply to your request, I consider that the central risks which face the approaching century will be religion without the Holy Spirit, Christianity without Christ, absolution without apology, salvation without recovery, legislative issues without God, and paradise without damnation".

Paul the Apostle in our text, finished up an enormous letter to the Galatians basically pointed toward keeping them in the confidence without yielding to ministers of Judaism and backers of religion that can't save. In this end, he reminded these valuable proselytes in Galatia that the Jewish conservative's effort to them is to cause them to adjust to their religion and customs. He advised them that the circumcision which includes in seeing God isn't what is outward however the internal heart circumcision.

The disarray about which lessons comes first; the Bible or custom go on today. Some, today, regard the customs of their houses of worship well beyond God's promise. Some unconsciously accept their congregation chiefs are trustworthy, or at least, they can't commit errors. The individuals who are fanning the coals of religion should comprehend that individuals don't get to paradise by following man's necessities.

It is just God's permanent directs and the important consistence that will get earnest searchers to paradise. No big surprise Jesus criticized the strict heads of his days for educating for conventions the decrees of men. Whereupon establishment do you stand? The Bible or custom? Making models of strict men who are dazed by custom, and ignoring the enlivened expression of God conveys grave results. If it's not too much trouble, be cautioned!
