Beyond Religion: The Vital Necessity of Knowing God's Word for Yourself
In our journey of faith, it's easy to fall into the trap of religion - going through the motions, depending on others for spiritual nourishment, and neglecting our own personal relationship with God. But in these days, it's more crucial than ever that we move beyond religion and into a vibrant, life-giving connection with our Heavenly Father.
The Danger of Secondhand Faith
Don't get me wrong - pastors, teachers, and spiritual leaders are vital gifts to the Body of Christ. They are called to equip us, guide us, and point us to truth (Ephesians 4:11-12). But they were never meant to be a substitute for our own direct relationship with God.

Salvation: The Doorway to Your Royal Inheritance
When we think of salvation, we often focus on the moment of our initial decision to follow Christ. We celebrate the forgiveness of sins, the assurance of eternal life, and the joy of being reconciled to God. And rightly so! Salvation is an incredible gift, purchased for us by the precious blood of Jesus.
But here's the beautiful truth: salvation is just the beginning. It's the doorway into a life of unimaginable blessing, authority, and purpose in Christ. It's the start of a journey into the fullness of our royal inheritance as children of the King.
Join Me in the Garden!
Come grow with me over on YouTube as we spend peaceful mornings in God's presence through Scripture meditation and creative worship. No artistic talent needed - just a childlike spirit and an open heart!
Subscribe to @thejennifermehling and let's bloom together. Once we reach 50 subscribers, I'll be live Monday through Friday at 5:30 AM EST!
Creating beautiful godly harvests all for His glory. 💕.
