I'm Spiritual not Religious

I am not very religious. I am however spiritual. I am doing OK, but sometimes I feel like something is missing. Why will going to church help me?

Many people in today’s’ culture say this, “I am spiritual, but I am not religious”. First let’s clarify how you become spiritual, through Jesus Christ.

John 16:7 ”nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you, but if I depart, I will send Him to you.”

When we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior he sends us the Holy Spirit and through His Holy Spirit we become spiritual. Many of us do not put the two together and get lost in today’s’ spirituality world. We try hard to be politically correct. The truth is that with Jesus as your Savior you become grounded in His love and through His spirit you become love. Having love toward your fellow man is the ultimate in politically correctness and spirituality. This transformation is made possible by faith in Jesus as our risen savior.

Many people also have stopped going to church. I do believe you are saved purely by your faith in Jesus. I also think that it is very difficult to be out there on your own. It is important to fellowship with other Christians. This keeps us strong in His word. I strongly suggest you find a Bible teaching church and go; it will help you not feel so alone. When you share in Christian fellowship it helps you become stronger. This world can be overwhelming and confusing. To help yourself stay grounded in His word I encourage you attend church. It is not about being religious it is about having His spirit inside of you and enjoying Christian fellowship.

Ecclesiastes 4:12 “Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him. And a threefold cord is not quickly broken.”
