Pure Religion
“Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.” (James 1:27)
I believe people want to know what true religion is. What many call religion or Christianity is nothing more than a shadow of what the Christian religion is supposed to be. Many despise the word religion but there is a standard we are to keep, and that is outlined in the above verse.
It is not enough to claim to be religious; we must truly practice the religion we claim to be partakers in. If you are not visiting the fatherless and widow, and if you are not devoting yourself to staying unspotted from the world, this would be a good time to begin to do those things. Your goal should be to hear the Father say, “Well done, good and faithful servant.” Are you truly being His servants and doing the things He asks you to do?
