CHRONIC LAZINESS CAN LEAD TO A LIFE TIME OF MISSED OPPORTUNITIES IN WHICH WE COULD HAVE HAD SO MUCH MORE
ISAIAH 53:5.….But He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; The chastening for our well-being {fell} upon Him, And by His scourging we are healed.
JESUS CHRIST WAS THE LAMB OF GOD WHO : “WAS SLAIN BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD”
AN EXCUSE IS NOTHING MORE THAN A LIE WRAPPED IN THE THIN SKIN OF REASON.
RITUALS WITHOUT REALITY ARE WORTHLESS
JOHN 5:16.….For this reason the Jews were persecuting Jesus, because He was doing these things on the Sabbath.
Religion is Satan’s answer to spiritual growth and Satan’s counterfeit for the supergrace and ultra-supergrace life of blessing and reward.
RELIGION IS SATANS ACE TRUMP CARD AS FAR AS DECEPTION
Religion is the worst thing that ever happened to mankind in history, it is a soul-destroyer.
Religion also epitomizes Satan’s policy of evil.
Religion also has a variation of gods which are simply representations of the same person, the creature Satan —
In religion , man by man’s efforts seeks to gain the approbation of God through his works, power, talent, abilities. Hence, religion is always a form of reversionism under the influence of evil and always includes some system of legalism.
On the opposite side, in Christianity God seeks and finds man through the work of Christ, and from that time on it is strictly a matter of grace.
The original Sabbath of Genesis 2:2 was designed by God to teach grace. God rested because everything was provided in grace for man. There was nothing else He could do. The seventh day was always a memorial to who and what God is and to what God does. It was a memorial to grace.
Over the years the Jews had reinterpreted
God’s law for the Sabbath, and they had added their own mandates, laws and traditions. By the time
of Christ, they were saying that carrying a bedroll was equivalent to carrying furniture, and therefore it was “work”!
RELIGION HATES GRACE. RELIGION IS THE ANTITHESIS OF GRACE. IT IS THE POLAR OPPOSITE ,AND THERE ARE NO SIMILARITIES WHAT SO EVER.

ROMANS 3:20.….BECAUSE BY THE WORKS OF THE LAW NO FLESH SHALL BE JUSTIFIED IN HIS SIGHT, FOR THROUGH THE LAW COMES THE POWER OF SIN.
SELFISHNESS AND SELFCENTEREDNESS, DRIVEN BY HUNDREDS OF FORMS OF FEAR , AND SELF DILLUSION CAN CAUSE EXTREME OCCUPATION WITH SELF SO THAT THE GRACE OF THE GOSPEL CAN NOT BE SEEN.
JESUS CHRIST KNEW VERY WELL THAT BEFORE THE GOSPEL OF GRACE COULD BE PREACHED, RELIGION HAD TO BE EXPOSED.
2 CORINTHIANS 5:19.….namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation.
ACTS10:34…”NOW I UNDERSTAND THAT GOD SHOWS NO PARTIALITY”.
SATAN WANTS CREATURES TO GET THE CREDIT, BUT IN GRACE, ALL THE CREDIT GOES TO GOD.
JOB 23;12…I have not departed from the command of His lips; I have treasured the words of His mouth more than my necessary food.
Your words were found and I ate them, And Your words became for me a joy and the delight of my heart; For I have been called by Your name, O LORD God of hosts.
How sweet are Your words to my taste! {Yes, sweeter} than honey to my mouth!

ROMANS 1:29…being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, greed, evil; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malice; they are Gossips,
30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, arrogant, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents,
ROMANS 1: 31…without understanding, untrustworthy, unloving, unmerciful; 32and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them.
