Anonymous, let's explore this question together, seeking guidance from the Scriptures.
Firstly, it's important to understand that God has always taken the initiative to reveal Himself to humanity. He did this most clearly through His Son, Jesus Christ, as it is written: "No one has seen God at any time. The one and only Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he has declared him." (John 1:18 WEB)
God has also revealed Himself through His creation, as the Psalmist said, "The heavens declare the glory of God. The expanse shows his handiwork." (Psalm 19:1 WEB) However, people often reject or twist this revelation, leading to the creation of false religions. The Apostle Paul explained this in Romans 1:21-23, "because, knowing God, they didn't glorify him as God, neither gave thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, and traded the glory of the incorruptible God for the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, and four-footed animals, and creeping things."
So, while God has revealed Himself and His truth, many religions are indeed man-made, born out of a rejection of God's revelation. Jesus himself said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me." (John 14:6 WEB) This means that any religion that denies Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior is not of God.
Let us pray for discernment and understanding:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in Jesus' name, seeking Your truth. We ask that You grant Anonymous a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of You. Open their eyes to see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ. Help them to discern between true, God-revealed religion, and man-made religions that cannot save. Draw them closer to You, Father, and guide them into a saving relationship with Jesus Christ, Your Son and our Lord and Savior. We pray this in Jesus' name. Amen.
