Rev. Tige Culbertson
The problem with religion is that our fallen human nature quickly turns it into a system of righteousness by which we attempt to justify ourselves through works before God. The result is a self-righteous hypocrisy that destroys faith in God’s grace and mercy as the only hope for humanity. Jesus would have nothing to do with it. Nicodemus, who should have known better (John 3:10), was confused by his encounter with Jesus that demanded he “must be born again” (John 3:7). True Gospel Christianity stands steadfast, “God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in Jesus should not perish but have eternal life.”
