Many will say, Lord, Lord but He does not know them. Rituals and traditions cannot replace relationships. Man is satisfied with doing a ritual to calm his conscience. God wants a relationship and not just mechanical acts. These rituals were introduced to help people commune with God but have replaced a relationship with God. To know Him is to love Him. This relationship is based on love. God wants willing obedience, not blind obedience. God wants His people to come to Him by faith knowing that he is who He says He is. He is the Creator of the whole Universe. All the stars and galaxies are His handwork. Yet He has chosen to have a relationship with a man He created in His image. In His image, we are made and have the same makeup as God. This is why we can imagine and be creative. Animals can’t do this. Come to Him and be blessed and empowered to love the lost into the Kingdom of God.
