Religion - Man's Quest for God

Religion

There are a lot of religious folks in the world today.
According to a dictionary definition, 'religion' is an "organized system of beliefs and rituals centering on a supernatural being or beings." (American Heritage Dictionary). But, what is religion, really? It is a search for God. People are doing all kinds of things to satisfy the longing that every soul has--to have fellowship with God. These things cannot replace the real remedy to the problem. Why are there so many different religions? In Christianity, why are there so many denominations? Why are there so many churches? Man is searching.

There is only way to end the search. Find God!
The true God. He's there. Waiting, beckoning, longing for man to find his way back to Him. Look deep into the recesses of your heart. Are you satistified with your life? It's not about making it in this world. (Of course there is a need to survive while we are here.) But, the essence of living ought to be to satisfy that deep longing in the soul. Find God and you will find life. Find God and you will find salvation, and with it-- love, joy,and peace. There is a difference between being religious (a form and a fashion) and having salvation. (True fellowship with the one God through His son Jesus Christ.) Are you religious, or are you saved? Being religious won't cut it. You need to be saved.

Agreed

religion is reaching out for God. I don't believe in that. I believe that God reached OUT for men through Jesus.
