Seed for Sept 26

What was wrong with the Jew’s religion? The Jew thought in keeping his religion and his teachings he had the Truth. But his religion and teachings, only pointed the Jew to the real truth, and that was Jesus. Everything that the Jew did in his religion was to be done in faith looking to Jesus, but some how the enemy tricked the Jew into believing, by keeping the Law he was perfecting himself. Wrong! The Bible says by keeping of religious law shall no flesh be declared “Not guilty”. It is only by faith in Jesus and His sacrifice can we be made “acceptable”.


Now modern religion has beguiled us in the same manner. We think by keeping our religious traditions we make ourselves “clean”. Wrong! What ever we do “religiously” we should do in faith towards the real Truth, Jesus. It must be done in faith, and that faith must be in the sacrifice of Jesus, to make us, and keep us clean. If we think we can add one thing to the finished work of Calvary, we have been deceived. Many go about trying to establish their own “holiness” by not touching, tasting, handling, this or that…and have fallen from grace, just as the Jew did, when he exacted all his labors. Remember to keep your eyes upon the real truth, and that is Jesus. What ever you do, religiously, remember it is the blood of Jesus that makes you and keeps you clean, not your religious efforts. You are not better because you do this or that, for the Law concluded all guilty, so that all would need the same Jesus to be made whole.

Paul said it best…”Oh foolish Galatians…who has bewitched you?”. They thought they could be made holy by keeping their religious law…and were falling from grace.

Be blessed.
