WARNING: the "Religion of Choice"
A
legal, works-based religion is the religion of choice of mankind.
Travel throughout the world; listen to religious teachers; examine
all the man-made creeds since the beginning of time. Inquire about
beliefs within so-called houses of worship, synagogues and mosques
and you will discover that no matter the language, race or culture,
people imagine that there is some work they must perform, some duty
that must carry out and some law they must obey in order for God
(ever how they imagine Him to be) to accept them.
They
are correct in concluding that there is a work to be performed, but
man cannot perform it. Yes, there are duties to be carried out,
but man cannot perform them. There is a law to be obeyed, but
man cannot obey it. Religious people of every age are just like
those of Paul’s day of whom he wrote: “I bear them record
that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge.
For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going
about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted
themselves to the righteousness of God. For Christ is the end of the
law for righteousness to everyone that believeth” [ROMANS
10:2-4].
The
work of salvation has been performed by Christ. Salvation is
conditioned upon the satisfaction of divine justice by the doing and
the dying of the Lord Jesus Christ. The duty of living a life of
compliance to the law and dying under its curse has already been
kept. There is no Savior, but Christ Jesus, and there is no salvation
except that which is dependent upon Him. This is the religion of God
- all of grace and all in Christ.
