True Religion

There are innumerable well-established religions in the world today, with many more added each day.
The trend today is for everyone to come up with their own religion, their own idea on who or what God is,
or if He even exists. Everyone is encouraged to define their own style of worship.
However, Scripture identifies the true God and how we are to worship Him.
