True Religion

What is true religion? What is true life? What is God calling each of us to?

God is calling each of us to salvation and to life everlasting. When we lose our lives for God’s sake, we find our life in him.

True religion and true life begins with denying ourselves, taking up our sufferings, and following Jesus.

As Jesus said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it.” (Luke 9:23-24, ESV).

When we lose our lives for the sake of Jesus, we find our true life in Jesus.

May we find true religion in the salvation Jesus offers as we take up our cross and follow him and as we find our true life hidden in him.

A Collect for the Second Sunday after Pentecost, or the First Sunday after Trinity (Proper 7): “Lord of all power and might, the author and giver of all good things: Graft in our hearts the love of your Name, increase in us true religion, nourish us with all goodness, and bring forth in us the fruit of good works; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.” (Book of Common Prayer, 2019).
