Religion -or- Relationship You Choose Part 1

Religion -or- Relationship You Choose Part 1

Religion cheats you from experiencing what Jesus has done for you.

In this teaching, I will be sharing how to know the difference.

Colossians 2:4-10 4 Now this I say lest anyone should deceive you with persuasive words. 5 For though I am absent in the flesh, yet I am with you in spirit, rejoicing to see your good order and the steadfastness of your faith in Christ. (Faith in Who?)

6 As you therefore have received Christ Jesus (who are we to receive?) the Lord, so walk in Him, (who are we to walk in?) 7 rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.

If a person is not being taught and built up in Christ Jesus. Who He is, what He has done and who we are in Him before God the Father. They are being cheated by the spirit religion that makes, what I call church folk…

8 Beware lest anyone cheat you (Lit. plunder you or take you captive) through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ.

• ERV. It is only human tradition and comes from the powers that influence this world.

9 For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; 10 and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.

• AMP 10 And in Him you have been made complete [achieving spiritual stature through Christ], and He is the head over all rule and authority [of every angelic and earthly power].

If you are not growing in the love of what Jesus has done for you. You are being cheated by the religious deceptions of Satan through misinformation. What is misinformation? (Missing information) Important information is missing that is critically needed for your understanding and development in new covenant faith. So that you can experience your benefits in Christ.
