True Religion
Meaning of True Religion
True religion is the combination of our worshipping God and the practice of righteousness at all times. It is the combination of the ceremonial aspect of our faith with the moral requirements. The ceremonial aspect involves our regular attendance to church services on Sundays or holy days, and payment of tithes, offerings and church dues or levies. The moral aspect of our faith is the practicing of righteousness in human relationship through the works of kindness, love, hospitality, honesty, justice, forgiveness, etc.
