Yes, we must accept religion. We need religion to return back to God. We need religion to be saved. We need religion to return back to the path of God which we have left. We need religion to know what we should do for God. We need religion to know how we should worship God. We need religion to be able to understand the ways of God. We need religion for our salvation.
Man needs salvation. Our need of salvation cannot be overemphasized. We are to be saved so that we can escape the judgement of God which will come upon sinners. When we understand the Word of God, we will be saved. We cannot understand the Word of God if we refuse to accept religion. Religion is a way of taking us back to God. We have lost track with God because of our sins.
It is not every religion that will lead us back to God. We must accept the religion which Jesus Christ came to establish. That is the true religion which will take us to the true God. The true is the God of the Bible. To understand His ways we must accept the doctrines of Jesus Christ.
