Many religious people treasure their own beliefs and
traditions. But what happens if these teachings are not in harmony with what is
found in God’s word, the Bible? Jesus showed the danger of following man-made
traditions when he said to the leaders of his days: “you have made the word of
God invalid because of your tradition.” Conduct is also important not just
beliefs. The Bible says to some who claim to worship God: “they publicly
declare they know God, but they disown him in their works.”
Sincerity is required, but more is needed. Why? Because a person can be sincerely wrong. So accurate knowledge about God is vital. Romans 10:2, 3. Talking in this knowledge and acting in harmony with what the Bible says will enable us to be pleasing to God. Really then right religion involves right motive, right belief, and right action. And right action means doing the will of God daily! 1 John 2:17.
