I have discovered that many people experience a
sense of both joy and relief when they come to understand that authentic faith
in God is not fundamentally about the legalistic observance and oppressive
practice of religious rituals.
At a basic level knowing God is about an actual
relationship with a being who knows us, loves us and is alive. And what is even
more extraordinary is that this being happens to be the almighty creator and
Lord of all things!
(I know this almost sounds too good to be true.
That’s why it is referred to as good news! Really good news.)
These realities are what make it possible for us to
enter into something much more than the routine exercise of rituals. Rather we
can enter into the knowledge, truth and presence of God, himself, through the
Lord Jesus Christ.
So… rejoice and be glad!
