” For the Kingdom of God is not a matter of what we eat or drink but of living a life of goodness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.” Romans 12:17
Sometimes we try too hard. We go out of our way to show others how religious we are. We are taught through our religious backgrounds what we should eat, drink and do, to show our faith in Jesus. In this world religion has become a part of our society where we must be seen in church but not necessarily connected to Jesus in a personal way. There are many denominations within the churches around the world with people living different ways because they have been taught to live this way or that. However, Jesus teaches us that the way to live for Him is to live our lives through the Holy Spirit. Our life for Christ should be one of relationship, where we live by faith in the grace of Jesus and develop an internal connection with Him, and not of religion, by which we live by rules, rituals and good works. Our lives should be transformed from the ways of this world to the ways of Christ. Our ways should be of prayer, reading and meditation in his world and praise of our God in heaven. We must remember that the Kingdom of God is not defined by the works we do nor the things we eat or drink, but by grace, faith, peace and joy. PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
