Religion is often defined as a set of beliefs that explain the world and the universe; however, for individuals, religion and spirituality are more than just a way of understanding the world. For me I believe religion is not just a way of living but is a way of bringing me higher and living the word of God in order to get into heaven. Many people know the word of God in their mind. They know they shouldn't take the lords name in vain, not have sex before marriage, etc. but how many people do know actually live the word of God each and everyday through their heart? I know no one is perfect and I know I'm sure not but If you live God's words through your actions and repent for the sins you have committed then your on the path to heaven. (Tell story)
If you read Scripture from the bible you will find that God requires us not only to preach to sinners, but also to teach them. The servant of the Lord must be "able to teach, patient, in meekness instructing" to those who oppose them (Timothy 2:24-25). Psalm 25:8 says, "Good and upright is the Lord: therefore will he teach sinners in the way." Psalm 51:13 adds, "Then will I teach transgressors your ways; and sinners shall be converted to you." The main point is to teach sinners and help them live the word of God.
