Religion — Part One

Many people say religion is worthless, mere formality. As Alistair Begg explains, however, there is a form of religion that is acceptable to God: external conformity to a pattern that is a result of the inward working of grace. God has taken the initiative to save us through His Word, which results in a transformed life marked by a controlled tongue, a compassionate heart, and a clean life. This, James affirms, is authentic religion, pure and faultless.
