Christianity is not merely a religion filled with rituals and observances to be kept. The Apostle Paul told the Corinthians that it was a message which they experienced. Indeed, even today the Holy Spirit is still at work through the preaching of the gospel to bring people to experience the gospel of God so their burdens of sin, guilt and shame, are taken away in an instant. It is the reception of the gospel which opens spiritually blind eyes, unstops spiritually deaf ears to be able to hear the voice of God, and officiates the adoption of lost souls into the Kingdom and family of God!
