Are You Religious? Religion can be defined as man’s attempt to impress God through self-improvement. It is an attitude that says, “I can make something of myself, I can earn God’s favor.” This mindset is fatally opposed to the grace of God. It causes a man to stand when he should bow and to strut when he should kneel. Worst of all, it causes him to see himself as a co-savior. His motives may be sincere, but he is an idol-worshipper. Jesus didn’t suffer and die on the cross to make you religious. He died and rose again to give you a new life—his life. Anything that pretends to be a substitute for the thrill of knowing him—of trusting him, being with him, and walking with him—should be rejected as inferior. Are you religious? Here is a simple test to find out. If any of the statements in the test describes you, then you might be a little bit religious. Here’s why… Are you preoccupied with doing the right thing? God is looking for relationship, but a religious mindset is preoccupied with following the rules.
