RELIGIOUS WAYS: Man's vs. God's
Man's ways of living religiously with the Biblical "support" that folks try to use:
1. LAW = Performance-based force
Do this & live!!
(This is a quote describing how to prosper materially.)
2. FLESH = Personality-based feeling
I do not belong ...
I do not need you ...
There is no God ...
(All three of these are quotations of sinful ways of thinking.)
God's way to give life:
3. GRACE = Promise-based faith.
Jesus is Lord
(This is based upon the reality of the cross & the resurrection.)
Whom shall you choose? Here are the options:
- Ancestral "gods" & their "hallowed" traditions,
- Local "gods" & their "freedom,"
OR
- The Lord God Almighty, who desires to be your Father & Friend.
