Summary: The bible describes what real worship really is
Real Religion
Jas 1:27
religion= a personal set or institutionalized system of religious attitudes, beliefs, and practices
Attitude= help others
Phil 2:4 Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others.
1 Jn 3:17 But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his
bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?
Gal 6:2 Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.
Jn 15:12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
Rom 15:1 We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please
ourselves.
Pro 3:27 Withhold not good from them to whom it is due, when it is in the power of thine hand to
do it.
Acts 20:35 I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and
to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to
receive.
Jn 13:34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you,
that ye also love one another. 35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if
ye have love one to another.
Beliefs= trust God, believe His word
Its not all about what we do, it’s really about why we do it.
Jas 2: 17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. 18 Yea, a man may say, Thou
hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee
my faith by my works.
John 5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent
me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from
death unto life.
1Sam 15:22 And Samuel said, Hath the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices,
as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to
hearken than the fat of rams.
Acts 5:29 Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than
men.
John 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.
Practices= keep yourself holy.
1Pet 1:14 As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your
ignorance: 15 But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of
conversation;16 Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
To be holy means to be set apart or separate from sin and evil
Rom 12: 1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies
a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And be
not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that
ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Ps 139: 23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: 24 And see if there
be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
