RELIGIOUS ACTIVITIES CANNOT GET US INTO HEAVEN

Romans 14, Paul said "Give a warm welcome to any brother who wants to join you, even though his faith is weak. Don’t criticize him for having different ideas from yours about what is right and wrong. Those who think it is all right to eat such meat offered to gods must not look down on those who won’t. And if you are one of those who won’t, don’t find fault with those who do. For God has accepted them to be his children. They are God’s servants, not yours. They are responsible to him, not to you. God is able to make them do as they should. Some think that Christians should observe the Jewish holidays as special days to worship God. On questions of this kind everyone must decide for himself. If you have special days for worshiping the Lord, you are trying to honor him; you are doing a good thing. So is the person who eats meat that has been offered to idols; he is thankful to the Lord for it; he is doing right. And the person who won’t touch such meat, he, too, is anxious to please the Lord, and is thankful. We are not our own bosses to live or die as we ourselves might choose. Living or dying we follow the Lord. Either way we are his. Christ died and rose again for this very purpose, so that he can be our Lord both while we live and when we die. FRIENDS, WE ARE NOT PERFECT. THE ONLY PERFECT PERSON IS JESUS. ALL OF US ARE AT DIFFERENT LEVELS IN THE FAITH. LET GOD BE OUR JUDGE. OUR JOB IS TO LOVE GOD AND BE FAITHFUL TO THE END! Romans 3:23-24, Yes, all have sinned; all fall short of God’s glorious ideal; yet now God declares us “not guilty” of offending him if we trust in Jesus Christ, who in his kindness freely takes away our sins.
