The difference between Biblical Faith and religious faith

May the Spirit of God find in you and your family the freedom to do His glorious Work!

I would like to share, with those that are interested, what the Spirit of God has revealed to me about the infinite difference between religious faith and biblical Faith.

The most harmful effect of religious faith is the separation it causes among people. When someone says, ‘I am evangelical,’ it immediately creates a barrier between him and another person that is Catholic and vice versa. So what kind of faith separates, divides and creates barriers between people? Aren’t we all God’s creations? Why would He create a religious system that causes separation among His creations? This doesn’t make sense, right?

That’s right. Religious faith has nothing to do with the Most High who came into the world to save everyone, regardless of race, color, sex, sexual preference, EVERYONE!

But the question is: why are religions so strong that, throughout the history of mankind, they have been primarily responsible for all the wars in the world?

Because religion works with emotional faith. Just as emotion uses sports teams to promote rivalries (sometimes to the death), religious people have also been moved to use emotional faith which, by the way, brings no practical benefit.

However, biblical Faith does not depend on any (zero) kind of science of this world. Instead, its teachings (Laws, Commandments, and Knowledge of Wisdom) come from the Spirit of the Most High. And the best part is that everyone has a right to His Promises and even charge the Lord for their fulfillment.

Besides, His Discipline is amazing, because no one that is a follower of the Bible is an addict, ill-tempered, inconsistent, criminal, corrupt, liar, etc. Instead, every follower of the Bible has a stable family and does not get involved with the filth of this world.

Biblical Faith comes from the Father of Wisdom and rewards us with a clean, honest conscience, peace with other people and, above all, with God. This is what the Lord promises His followers:

I HAVE COME THAT THEY HAVE MAY HAVE LIFE, AND THAT THEY MAY HAVE IT MORE ABUNDANTLY. John 10.10
