In the book of James chapter 1: 27-28 Is Religion that God our Father accepts. What makes religion worthless and what makes religion acceptable to God. We must know the difference between the two. Religion is defined as external evidence of inward piety that worship is expressed in rituals acts. To define what makes religionworthless is when a person acts righteousness calling themselves Christians yet lies, speaks slanderous words, gossip, speaks unkindly to another, and uses God’s name in vain. Then their religion is empty Matthew 12:37. Pure and “undefiled religion” happens when believers take care of the less fortunate and strive for personal purity Luke 14: 13-14, 2 Peter 1: 5-8.
