Choices- Religion or a Personal Relationship with God

Choices-    Is it 
Religion or a Personal Relationship with God?
                                                                     Return to Main Menu

John 14:6 KJV

Jesus saith unto him, 
I am the way ,
     the truth, and
          the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. 

Matthew 6:33 KJV

But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness;  ...


Choices Choices Choices

We all make choices.  We choose who our friends are, our husband or wife, this movie or that movie, etc.  All day long we are engrossed in our choices, and often self-centered choices.

But, the very most important choice we have in life does not concern earthly choices but Spiritual Choices!
It is not a choice about helping others, visiting the poor,or anything similar.

The most important choice is the choice we make about Jesus.

Our first choice concerns: 
do we Humbly and Submissively accept Him as our Savior?

      IF  your answer is "no" 
                   maybe you should STOP READING.

If ‘Yes’ then we move on to other choices.   

These choices include
2-  What church we go to,
3-  How will we serve Him
4-  How we try learn about Him,
5-  How we choose to worship Him.

But, even these are religion choices and 
are not as important as the Spiritual choice we make.

The most import choice we make is this:

We choose First to do as Jesus tells us:

“Seek ye first the Kingdom of God.”

This was not presented as a suggestion,  or an option!

This is Jesus’ Command to US!


Seeking the Kingdom comes before any earthly religion choices we make. In seeking the Kingdom, we must first, foremost, continually, and be absolutely driven to Have a Personal Relationship with God.

Choices above 2, 3, 4, and 5 are simply about religion!

What is your choice?
Religion with all its 
rules and traditional trappings
or
A Personal Relationship with God.

If you have a Person Relationship with God in which you  activity seek Him daily through Bible Study and Prayer, then you are living under Jesus' command for us;   if NOT, then


maybe

just maybe,


quite possibly,

All you have is just religion.

It is your choice.


In your Religion, helping others may be a choice,


In your Personal Relationship with God,
    out of love, we are filled with desire for helping others.


What is your choice?


Thanks be to God
