It’s difficult for some who think salvation is about being religious. I have two family members very hard to reach because though they have no problem with others who believe they just think it’s not for them.
I had similar leanings. I was involved in a false religion, but instead of thinking it was ok for them, I thought of the true Christians, as being “those religious fanatics over there.”
Deep in my heart, I just knew, however, that Christianity was not for me, nor did I have any assurance of salvation. I wanted it, and maybe that is why Jesus found me. 😁👍 People involved in false religions, have false hopes of salvation. It just won’t cut the mustard.
