John 3 vs 5-7. Except a man be born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
The spiritual birth is of righteousness, it is not of man’s counsel neither is it religious practices. It is a new birth that brings changes that take place within a man’s heart that causes them to recognize the truth of God to live for God in truth and faithfulness. The spiritual birth is a brand new life wrought in the deepest core of man by God and God alone. This birth leads only to righteousness on earth and in heaven. No other experience on earth can compare or bring a man into the right relationship with God except the man who is born again.
Organized religion based their faith on rules established by previous leaders. These are beliefs that are not necessarily of the faith of Jesus Christ. Religion that bound men and separates them from God is a doctrine birth in man’s spirit in opposition to the truth of God ministered to them. It is a belief that sounds right but it does not lead to the righteous state God has called man to be in.
Religion began in Eden when Cain will in himself what to offer God, in spite of what God commanded. A religious man’s faith is in his religion and not in the true God although he calls upon the name of the Lord. It is true obedient faith to the word of God separates between religious and righteousness.
The religious pride on the outward man but the righteous worship God from their heart in all sincerity. Are you religious or righteous? You can start building a real relationship with God by surrendering yourself to him by renouncing all other lordship over your life and humble submit yourself to him.
