This again seems an appropriate time to ask. Why do so many people become so religious?
The God of the Bible is a God of Mercy and Justice. He created us for relationship with Him.
Yes! God has the Ten Commandments and thou shalt not break these laws, but in a relationship you don't want to break the laws out of love and respect. The religious in society tend to want to bind us by the laws and rituals. Sure God has set boundaries, and He knows the hurt and the pain by overstepping these boundaries or commandments.
We can become big on quoting the Bible and quoting it like prose. But the Bible is The Word of God, His instruction book {Manufactures Handbook} to help us to know Him, Our Lord and Our Friend, and walk with Him on our journey through life.
Many never step from this law that binds to the laws that give life through Christ Jesus. No one has ever fulfilled the laws except Christ Jesus. He paid the price for us on the Cross.
He gave us a new law, to love one another as he loves us. We know how we like to be treated, so this is the way our faith and our love should be displayed to others.
In today's world there seem, the theme as long as you do this for me, I will be nice and good to you. This is a love out of favors, and not a divine love, because God's love at all times.
Yes! We all have a need for companionship, but we must understand the Mercy and Grace of God has for us, so first we can walk in companionship with Our Lord and Our Friend. Then we can be complete to find our life companion He has and wants for us.
Our Lord and Our Friend is walking with us through life not reminding us of the law, but helping us to live the life he created for us, where He fulfilled the law for us. Then we operate out of the New commandment "To love others as He loves Us".
John 13 verses 34 and 35
V34 'I give you a new commandment; love one another; Just as I have loved you, you must also love one another. v35 By this all people will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another".
It is a new living way, where Our Lord and Our friend, who loves us so dearly is with us all the way, so we can share the love He has for us, with 'whosoever', so they may accept Him too. John 3 verse 16:
God Bless.
