Religiosity – a comprehensive sociological term used to refer to the numerous aspects of religious activity. Why is it important to focus on our salvation as opposed to religious activity? We see a clear example of why in John chapter 5.

Jesus has a way of meeting us right where we are. In John chapter 5 we find a man who has been waiting to be healed for 38 years and when Jesus meets him He tells him to “Get up”. Out of all the people Jesus could have healed, it was the identity of this one man that was special.

In the Conversation at the Well Part 2, we find in John chapter 4 that God had a divine appointment with a woman at a well. It is at this marvelous moment that God confronts the woman, forcing her to face herself. It is through this, that we learn how the word of God confronts us and deals with our heart.

Jesus, at the Passover of the Jews finds the temple being used for commercial use instead of for worship and sacrifice. These actions cause Him to drive everyone out of the temple. How many times in our lives do we misuse or misrepresent the things of God? In this week’s Book of John message, Pastor McGee shares with us the importance of representing the temple of God.
