Religion!

There are many things that are being done and taught by religious leaders today that have absolutely nothing to do with bible truths, but more to do with religious traditions and teachings of men. Most of the religious activities which go on in religion today are simply the result of efforts to count you. Religion wants to count you by getting you in their assembly.
    
The bible says "preach the word." What word? The word of truth, the gospel of YOUR SALVATION. (Ephesians 1:13) And what is that? It's the good news that Christ died for YOUR SINS. It's the good news that God doesn't desire, or require a gift or a sacrifice from you today, but wonder of all wonders, HE OFFERS YOU A GIFT. The gift of eternal life!
    
The good news is that God was in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:19-21) RECONCILING YOU unto himself. He was not counting your sins against you, but instead he counted them against the Lord Jesus Christ and made HIM TO BE SIN FOR YOU. You have probably been taught that if you do good you can go to Heaven. That is a lie! The bible says there are none that are righteous. There are not even any that DOETH GOOD! (Romans 3:10 and 12)
    
The bible says (Titus 3:5) that it's not by works of righteousness which we have done but according to HIS MERCY He saved us. The bible says that the wages of sin is death and there is plenty of proof of that, just look around you. We all die. But it also says that the GIFT OF GOD is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 6:23)
    
The good news is that you don't have to go anywhere, do anything, or even say anything. Just simply put your faith in what Christ did. He died for your sins! He was raised for your justification! (1 Corinthians 15:3 and Romans 4:25)

Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved. (Acts 16:31)
