Bible Passage
Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world. James 1:27 (KJV)
Religion is defined as the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods. Christianity is not a religion; it is the life of God working in the Christian through a personal relationship with God. This life of God in the Christian makes them superior to poverty, sickness, death etc. There is however religion in Christianity; this is what the opening Scripture is talking about. This is called pure religion and undefiled: visiting the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep yourself from the influence of the world. Let the vulnerable such as the orphans, widows, children, and the sick mean a lot to you. Be kind to them and bless them and God will always remember you.
