God Is Into Restoring Relationships, Not Being Worshiped Through Religous Practices

God is into restoring the relationship between Him and us, and us with each other.

37 Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”

Can a woman forget her nursing child,
And not have compassion on the son of her womb?
Surely they may forget,
Yet I will not forget you.
See, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands;
Your walls are continually before Me.
Isaiah 49:15-16

But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection Colossians 3:14

And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.
1 John 4:16

We love Him because He first loved us. 1 John 4:19

And above all things have fervent love for one another, for “love will cover a multitude of sins.” 1 Peter 4:8

12 This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. 13 Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends. John 15:12 &13

God didn't create us to hate one another, He created us to love one another and to love Him. So, I ask you, where is man made religion in all this? Can you tell me?

God wants to be worshiped in spirit and truth..

Thank you ☺

I've noticed some want God's help, but they don't want to give Him first place in their lives. God can't help, if he's only important enough to people when they need something from him. The Bible says "seek ye first the kingdom of God and then all these things shall be added unto you." Those "things" are blessings and daily provisions/needs. God always puts us first. Why can't we put him first? There's no use calling on God to do anything, if one does not know Him, nor wants anything to do with him. Nor even cares about knowing him.

God is displeased with empty, mechanical performance of rituals, without a sincere connection to God or a transformed life. God desires a relationship with His people that is based on love and a genuine desire to follow His ways, rather than just going through the motions of religious practices. He wants people to worship Him in spirit and in truth, meaning with their hearts and not just their actions. He desires a relationship with His followers, one built on genuine faith, love, and genuine commitment.

So your all powerful loving God doesn't practice the forgiveness he preached? He's so vindictive, he's still got a chip on his shoulder for thousands of years?

Obviously, you've never read His Word at all.

@GodSpeed63 Yes, I also sat through hours of RE at school and that's when I realised that it was all BS.

The Word of God is still the Truth regardless of what anybody thinks and it hurts in this fallen world, but it can also heal.

You’re just talking to yourself. Telling yourself whatever you want to hear.
