Back to Man's religion & God's religion 8

"And I, the Son of Man, have come to seek 
and save those who are LOST." Luke 19:10

Oh, how religious he once used to be! 

How comfortably he could walk to church with his 
Bible under his arm, and look as devout and holy 
as possible! How regularly also, he could read the
Scriptures, and pray in his manner, and think
himself pretty well, with one foot in heaven. 

But a ray of heavenly light has beamed into his soul, 
and shown him who and what God is; what sin and 
a sinful heart is; and who and what he himself as a 
sinner is. The keen dissecting knife of God has come 
into his heart, laid it all bare, and let the gory matter 
flow out. When his conscience is bleeding under the
scalpel, and is streaming all over with the gore and 
filth thus let out, where is the clean heart once 
boasted of?
