Romans 10:2-4 2 I know what enthusiasm they have for God, but it is misdirected zeal. 3 For they don’t understand God’s way of making people right with himself. Refusing to accept God’s way, they cling to their own way of getting right with God by trying to keep the law. 4 For Christ has already accomplished the purpose for which the law was given.[a] As a result, all who believe in him are made right with God. (NLT) Depending on what circle you run in, being called religious can be a good or a bad thing. To some a religious person is someone who doesn’t drink, goes to church all the time, reads their bible every morning, and can even serve as a role model. While, to others a religious person is no fun, spends too much time at church, and wouldn’t approve of anything they do! The problem is that we look at a person’s religion through their actions. If they do a lot of good things then they are religious. And often, with this “religiousness” we apply a righteousness. Good deeds are good, but they don’t make us righteous. Only Jesus’ death on the cross can make us righteous. Pastor Tim Reynolds
