Thread: Master your own spirituality

  1. #1

    Lightbulb Master your own spirituality

    If you live a sound lifestyle and believe in god you are well on your way to mastering your own spirituality. Clean eating, exercise, foregoing drugs and alcohol combined with prayer will put you on your way!

    A lot of unsaved people do that. They haven't mastered their own spirituality.

    Without Jesus, we are still spiritually dead.

    True story.

    To be fair, I said 'well on your way..' not already there!

    And what is "mastering your spirituality" exactly?

    Does it involve submitting to the Lordship of Jesus Christ or is it some New Age amalgamation?

    Let me guess, she is employing the theory that a belief in a god, something supernatural, afterlife or a deeper meaning with life is beneficial for the human psyche. And not much more than that.

    Why even bother to get "well on your way" when one simple step, salvation through Jesus Christ, takes us all the way??

    The Bible tells us that our own righteousness is nothing but filthy rags.

    Could be.

    Depends on her approach - her foundational beliefs / worldview.

    Amen.

    There is no "pulling yourself up by the bootstraps", either by good works or by trying to "realize" or "actualize" some "god" within.
