You know all religions have a way to God, and things they say need to be done in order to please him.. but God speaks for Himself and he says all our religious acts mean nothing to him.. there is only one thing pleases God
Hosea 6:6
For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.
Mt 9:13 Mt 12:7
Let's all humbly come before God and seek to KNOW Him. Only as we KNOW God can we truly see that He is knowable and He has made Himself known to us. Let's stop looking at religious practises and return to what God Himself desires.. That we KNOW Him!!
‘Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches; but let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me’ (Jer. 9:23f.).
What, of all the states God ever sees man in, gives Him most pleasure? Knowledge of Himself
The Bible promises that as we come to the truth, the truth will set us free. If you want to be free from hoping that you are forgiven, and from doing endless religious acts to "make sure you are forgiven", the God of the Bible has hope for you.. He says if you draw near to Him, He will draw near to you.
God is knowable.. He became a man and lived amongst us. Jesus said in John 17:3 . ‘This is life eternal, that they might know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent’
But please be warned.. the more you know Him, the more you will worship Him..
A study of the attributes of God allows no casual bystanders. We either respond in worship and service, or we turn from God, creating in His place a “lesser god” of our own making, a “god” in whose presence we feel comfortable, even while we sin.
