Divine Recognition
"But now after you have known God, or rather are known by God, how is it that you turn again to the weak and beggarly elements, to which you desire again to be in bondage?" (Galatians 4:9 NKJV) In most religious climes, everyone is godly; or rather, everyone claims the knowledge of God. Until human knowledge of God equals God's knowledge of man, religion remains a mental exercise with inconsequential moral transformation. In which case, fellowship in religious houses remains a social gathering of people with merely recognized denominational dogma. As long as members are willing to abide by these dogmas, recognition of their relevance is guaranteed. Unfortunately, fellowship with man does not guarantee the righteousness of God. The heart must thrive more to retain recognition by God than to attain membership of human social gatherings.
