The perfect religion is as hard a concept that many deny exists, as is the way that Christians can be perfect and have that perfect relationship with God. Yet Jesus said in Matthew 5:48, "Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect." Can we find that perfect religion? Can we find that perfection Jesus commands? And can we find that connection with God in His secret place?
The Perfect Religion: Gateway to God's Secret Place attempts to open the door to the room we must enter to find God, who is in the secret place. When we connect to our Father, we will understand the will of our Father. We must find that place to have that one-on-one connection and let the Holy Spirit lead us down the path of righteousness.
When we understand this secret place's location, we can then understand the teachings of Jesus on the Sermon on the Mount. How important are these teachings that Jesus said are God's will and requirements to enter the kingdom of heaven? "For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven."
