Previously we set out on a clarity excursion of what religion really is. If you didn’t note, there was no affirmation or validation of if religion is true or if there’s a real God, who is good. And I’m hoping I could do that today.
Now there are many apologetics out there on religion. Note: Apologetics mean, “reasoned arguments or writings in justification of something, typically a theory or religious doctrine.” These include historical evidences, the complexity of creation, objective moral standards, etc.
But I would like to take a slightly different curviate. You see, as already established, the ultimate Christian belief is in a personal, all-powerful, personal, loving God. The moment this is done away with, then there is no theology, doctrine and ultimately religion. The problem is we (even as Christians) cling on to explanations and theories that we term as truth, of a God we have never met!
Jesus said :
KJV John 14
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
God is the truth. That means, you take away God, then there is no truth.
What I’m I trying to say dear reader? That ultimately the evidence of religion and of truth is an encounter with God Himself. And that is something beyond explanation. It has to be an experience. God is not a theory dear reader. He is not a nice Man that lives in pages. He is Someone that can be met, talked to, heard and felt.
Yes, God has given us the Bible, His infallible word. But not as an end, but a means to an end. The Bible is to lead us to an actual, personal God and into communion with Him. That is what worship is. That is what religion is and that, changes sinners into saints.
So, finally, my charge is that you may seek out an experience with God. Ask Him to reveal Himself. Try, test and prove the promises in His word. Seek Him out, for He is willing to be found by you.
KJV Jeremiah 29
13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.
