I don’t feel like going to church! Why are all these bad things happening to me? I thought when I became a Christian that life would be easier! Why not just go with the flow and not push religion on me or anyone else? I want to practice Wicca or Buddhism so what is wrong with that? We are worshiping someone, isn’t that enough?
If you have ever felt this way, you are not alone. There are many who have questions about these and other religions and these feelings are legitimate. But, what if you are wrong? Worshiping “someone” or “something” or even religiously practicing whatever religion you were born into is not enough. Satan loves religious people because if they haven’t given their heart to Jesus in faith, then they don’t bother him at all. There will be many people in hell who were religious in their lives but being religious doesn’t save you!
If you prayed to or worshiped a tree or an idol, will it answer your prayer? Can it do anything that will make your life better today or for eternity? God is the Creator of everything and everyone, He is the only One who can answer prayers and give you eternal life. What can you do for yourself, as some religions suggest, that will have an effect on your life after your physical life has ended? Nothing!
God loves us all and wants all to come to Him because He has paid the price for your salvation. All you have to do is accept it on faith in Him and believe it! That’s it! No catch, no strings. Because once you do that your whole outlook changes and your old life is not as appealing as it once was.
We are living in the end of the church age right now. The time for your salvation is now, not tomorrow or next week or next year because you aren’t guaranteed to be alive at those times. Is your righteousness good enough to stand before God? If you haven’t accepted Jesus and taken on His righteousness it is not. Think about it.
