Why We Do Not Have to Worship God Through Religion God's plan has always been about relationship, not ritual. In the Old Testament, through the prophet Jeremiah, He promised a new covenant-not like the old covenant that depended on external laws and sacrifices. This new covenant would be written on the hearts of His people, offering them direct access to Him and forgiveness of sins: "I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts... for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more" (Jeremiah 31:33-34). This promise was fulfilled in Jesus Christ. The old system of sacrifices, as Hebrews explains, could only serve as a shadow of the better things to come. The sacrifices of bulls and goats could never truly remove sin (Hebrews 10:1-4). But through Christ’s perfect sacrifice, offered once for all, we are sanctified, forgiven, and brought into eternal relationship with God (Hebrews 10:10-18). Faith, Not Works of the Law Some believe we must worship God through religious systems and laws, but Paul explains in Romans that righteousness does not come through works of the law alone. Instead, faith in Jesus is essential: • Faith Without Law: Paul writes, “Do we nullify the law through faith? No! On the contrary, we uphold the law” (Romans 3:31). Faith does not make us lawless but transforms us to live under the "law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus" (Romans 8:1-2). • Law Without Faith: Yet, obedience to law alone cannot justify us. Paul declares, “A man is justified by faith apart from works of law” (Romans 3:28). Without faith, the law brings condemnation, as it reveals sin but cannot save (Romans 7:9-10). • The Law of Faith: Paul resolves this by introducing the "law of faith" (Romans 3:27)-a gospel that calls for both belief and obedience. Through faith in Christ, we are justified, sanctified, and given eternal life (Romans 1:16, 6:16). The Promise of Eternal Life with Christ True faith focuses not on earthly rewards or religious rituals but on the eternal promise of living with Christ. Jesus taught this clearly: "Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth... but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven... For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also" (Matthew 6:19-21). We cannot serve two masters. Religion that caters to fleshly desires-such as focusing only on “going to heaven”-misses the greater hope Jesus gives. He promises to return and bring His people to live with Him forever: "In my Father's house are many mansions... I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place, I will come again and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there you may be also" (John 14:2-3). This is the ultimate hope for believers-not merely a place, but eternal communion with Christ. Conclusion Faith in Jesus Christ is the way to eternal life. He came to do the Father’s will, and that will is this: “That everyone who sees the Son and believes on Him may have everlasting life, and I will raise him up on the last day” (John 6:40). Let us put our faith in Christ alone, not in systems or rituals that cannot save. The new covenant has been established. His law is written on our hearts, and His promise is sure: we will live with Him for eternity.
