Its true. Mankind enjoys religion. It is not a burden to him. What he really doesn’t want is God. This is why he turns to religion instead of God.
Religion and all the doings of dead religion, will make a man feel good about himself while he is sinning. The mindset of this person is that I can keep my old ways, just go to church and have an appearance of godliness, and my good workings will make up for my secret sins that I love.
My guess is that maybe 90 percent of the ”church” population falls into this category. How can you spot them? They are unchanged. If a significant amount of time has passed since they believed, yet they remain in sin, you can believe that this person either has never believed or maybe did actually believe but is in danger of the sin unto death.
The road to life is straight and gate narrow…few find it.
