God bless!

        Would you have ever thought that religion was bad for you? Don't get what I'm going to share with you today twisted, but the truth is holding on to religion (circumcision in traditional Biblical terms) is not the same as holding on to God. From the verse below you can tell how Paul himself understood this truth. Holding on to religion is a sign of distrust because religion is based on acts and not faith or Grace for that matter. The only truth that will lead us to God is a true relationship with Him. It's like a sports fan, they may love the team they support but that doesn't mean they know them personally. Their cheering will never gain them Grace, only a true relationship will do that. The same concept applies to God, do we know Him or do we know of Him? One will lead us to heaven where the other will lead us nowhere.

Pastor Joell A. Perez

Notice, it is I, Paul, who tells you that if you receive circumcision, Christ will be of no profit (advantage, avail) to you [for if you distrust Him, you can gain nothing from Him]. (Galatians 5:2 AMP)
