Walking the Line Between Religiosity and Reprobation - Daily Blog 025

![religiosity-and-reprobation](https://cloudflare-ipfs.com/ipfs/QmcaTDTT32sV2ku2oXCHa9DGfsLbaWTc9SCmcpgUA7YY6w)

The Bible is full of a lot of commands for believers; these commands tell us how to like morally and keep us from becoming a reprobate. However, there is another side to this coin that Jesus often spoke out against, and that is Religiosity. Religiosity is defined as excessive or affected piety; basically, thinking we are better than another person just because of our religion or religious rituals.

These two extremes are something I often think about. We, as believers, will usually catch ourselves in that excessive piety thinking "I'm glad I'm not as bad as that person."

*When in reality we are.*

Sin is sin. One is not more wicked than another from the perspective of the Bible. From our perspective murder is much worse than stealing which is worse than a white lie. However, when we take the Bible for what it says we see that every sin is worthy of eternity in hell. Because sin is so easy to observe in our lives, we push against it and in doing so run the risk of becoming religious.

The Pharisees didn't love God. They loved wealth, position, and influence. That's why they hated Jesus. To avoid being like them we need to be sincere and genuine followers of Christ.

For by grace are we saved through faith and not of ourselves, it is the gift of God and not of works, lest any should boast.
