Presentation transcript:

Religion has to do with faith in God, love of God, hope of eternal life, conviction, moral standards, etc. Our religion has a tremendous bearing on our lives. It affects what we do on the Lord's day, and every other day of the week. Everyone's religion is founded on some basis. So we ask: "Is your religion really yours?" "On what basis is your religion founded?" IS YOUR RELIGION REALLY YOURS? #1

RELIGION BASED ON ORGANIZATION – People act and believe as their church wants them to – Some churches seek to convert people to their organization – The New Testament converts people to the Lord Personal belief in personal Being Jhn 20:30-31; 1Jhn 1:1-4 Personal confession with one's own mouth Rom. 10:9-10 Personal acceptance of personal atonement of Christ for personal sins (Its individual) Acts 2:38; 3:26 IS YOUR RELIGION REALLY YOURS? #1

RELIGION FOUNDED ON FAMILY – Based on one member of family – father, mother or relative Have no root themselves. Lk 8:13 – Problem of "third generation Christian" Jud 2:8-12 – In religion of Christ, one must follow Lord Himself, not family Religion based on family, worthless Matt 10:37-38; Lk 14:26-27 Accepting truth may cause loss or family Mk 10:29-30 IS YOUR RELIGION REALLY YOURS? #1

RELIGION BASED ON SOCIAL RELATIONSHIPS – Leans upon the faith, hope, and love of some person. – People build friendships and social ties in churches – Churches use social ties to pressure people into submission – Some people, through social pressures, are half-converted Paul said "follow me" as he followed the Lord 1Cor 4:15-17; 11:1 Work is not out of true love and devotion for the Lord Matt 23:5; 2Cor 10:12; Jhn 12:42-43 Many will never have the proper faith because of their undue regard from their fellow men. John 5:44 Remember, Lord knows those who are His 2Tim 2:19 IS YOUR RELIGION REALLY YOURS? #1

Is your religion really yours? It's time for personal examination 2Cor 13:5 Each of us must ask regarding our religion. – Is the faith that I have really my faith? – Do I have my own love for God that will see me through trials? – Are my moral standards my own personal conviction? – When problems arrive, can I honestly and fairly look at both sides and make decisions based on Scripture? IS YOUR RELIGION REALLY YOURS? #1
