Daily Wisdom..."Subjective Christianity"

“Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances”  Col 2:20

Ones acts of religiosity can become subjective Christianity which create a false sense of entitlement and spiritual accomplishment, one cannot reach up to God by following rules of pious self-denial, by observing rituals, or by practicing religion.  Man-made religions focus on human effort; Christianity focuses on Christ's work. Believers must put aside sinful rudimental desires of the world, but doing so is the by-product of our new life in Christ, not the reason for our new life. Our salvation does not depend on our own discipline and rule keeping but on the power of Christ's death and resurrection.

"We are prone to find comfort among those who agree with us and bias growth among those who don't."
