Religion • Belief in and reverence for God or some supernatural power that is recognized as the creator or ruler of the universe, and organized system of doctrine with an approved pattern of behavior and a proper form of worship.
Scriptures are our guide from earth to heaven (Psalm 119:105; John 12:48). • To be religiously right we must be scripturally right. • No one can be religiously right and scripturally wrong at the same time. • If God’s will has undergone no change since the New Covenant was completed, what God’s will was then is still God’s will today.
