Christianity is the act and a choice to serve and have a relationship with the one and true living God, it is a complete life style change because we were created in the image of God and therefore, we should walk like our Father, talk like our Father, live holy (or to be one with God) like our Father, Genesis 1: 27, “ So God created mankind in His own image . . .” God is all sovereign until He speaks and once he speaks He is even obligated to perform His word, John 1:1 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” However, the term Churchianity is the act of religion, religion is the act of going through the everyday motions of acting like Christians, talking like Christians, …show more content…
pretending living like Christians, and so fourth. Therefore, the term Churchianity is the act of having religion or being religious carrying out traditional Christianity appearances or just playing ‘church’; basically the ‘leader’ decides what is the truth and how much of the ‘truth’ to expose because it takes a little bit of the truth to create and expose a lie.
Let’s stop playing church because you are the church. Religion is another term for ‘religion,’ let us break down the term religion, re- means to do something over again and the term ligion- means bondage . . . do you really what a relationship or do you bondage? God never enslaves His people in fact He gave us choice whether or not we will serve Him because love is not bondage and that is what religion is bondage. Love is not love until we give it away the ultimate gift of love is when God offered himself to us when sent us the Comforter Jesus Christ to die on Calvary for our …show more content…

Matthew 7:21-23 King James Version (KJV):
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Not everyone who calls Christ their Lord and Savior true believers or ‘Christians.’ There are many who desire to be called ‘Christians’ or make refers to Christ in their sermons only to add condemnation to cover and hide absolute truth from God about their true attentions go please man and not God; to only promote the Kingdom of God to advance their true intentions and interests. It is no longer about God’s favor and grace, and the righteousness of Christ, but rather yet, created an idol of themselves and or man.
Therefore, no one who plays ‘Churchianity’ shall enter into the Kingdom of Heaven because it is not he outward dispensation of the Gospel or the physical church as an institution, which will grant you entry to eternal everlasting life! Jesus is the other of salvation and no one can get to the Father, God, without going through the son, Jesus. Therefore, it starts with accepting Jesus as your Savior, Jesus said . . . “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me (Matthew 16:24). Did you just catch the key principal? We must accept by faith that Jesus is the Savior! What is faith? Faith comes by hearing and hearing the Word of God (Romans 10:17). Therefore, obedience is the evidence of faith because it the ultimate expression of that true agape love that we have abiding faith in is promises.
Your salvation is a lifestyle change and lifelong commitment because you the individual must die daily, “And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled 22 in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight— 23 if indeed you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and are not moved away from the hope of the gospel which you heard, which was preached to every creature under heaven, of which I, Paul, became a minister (Colossians 1:21-23).” Salvation is free, but not cheap because in order for us to live Jesus Christ bore our sins on Calvary willingly surrender His life so that we may enjoy eternal everlasting life.
It is those who play Churchianity and perform false works in Jesus name, that will hear “I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.”
John 10:14-16 King James Version (KJV)
14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.
15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
John 10: 14-16 explains the difference between the Shepherd and a hired servant. The sheep do no recognize the voice of the hire servant and will run away from danger, however; the Shepherd will give his life for his sheep. Christ explains to us that He is a good Shepherd, He knows us and we know Him because we recognize His voice. Christ did not run away from Calvary, danger, but rather yet, he gave His life for us. Therefore, as the sheep have a ‘relationship’ with the shepherd because they know him and his voice, we who claim we are Christians must have a relationship with the one and true living God hear His voice, obey and keep His commandments, to depart from evil and do
good!
