ARE YOU RELIGIOUS OR REDEEMED?

It is natural to be religious; it is supernatural to follow Christ. –Unknown

Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:12-14

Religion has a person trying to obtain salvation by some service or sacrifice. Christianity says salvation was provided when Jesus died on the Cross, was buried in a borrowed tomb, and when He rose again the third day. Religion will send a person straight to hell! Christianity will set you free from sin, Satan, and self destruction!

What you believe about Jesus is important, what you have done with Jesus is the difference between Heaven and Hell- literally! Are you religious or have you been redeemed?

EMBARRASSED ATHEIST?

An atheist's most embarrassing moment is when he feels profoundly thankful for something, but can't think of anybody to thank. –Vincent

For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. Romans 14:11

I can only imagine seeing an atheist coming up out of a fox hole that just had grenades blasting beside it, bullets whistling by his head, missiles exploding dirt hundreds of feet into the air, saying, “Thank God!”, then thinking, “What did I just say? That was stupid!” I’m sure he would probably look around to see if anyone heard him…

It is my prayer, before it is too late, he would bow his knee to God on this side of the grave. Then he won’t have to worry about being wrong or embarrassed!
