Later on, when God gave His law to His people, He went on for chapter after chapter after chapter with descriptions of what is clean and acceptable in religion, and what is defiled and unclean and unacceptable in religion. God wants us to understand that the most important question in life is, “Does God accept my worship, or does He reject it?” Now, what does that tell you? The very first thing that God wants to say to us when the human race is starting out in this fallen world is this: “Here is an example of acceptable worship and here is an example of unacceptable worship.” The most important thing in life is worship, and God does not accept all worship.

That is the first three chapters of the Bible. That is the story of how this world got so messed up. He gave them one simple command, and they rebelled and broke that command so they were expelled from the garden. In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth, then He created a man and a woman and put them in a garden paradise as husband and wife. 27 Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world. James 1:26 If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person's religion is worthless.
