2024-12-08 Ben Grisez Revelation 17. 1-18 Vain Religion

Calvary Chapel Sydney

In John's vision, he saw a great harlot being carried by a beast with 7 heads and 10 horns--supporting the mother of all abominations God will destroy. Instead of being faithful in the worship and praise of the one true God, apostate religion will be a pawn of the antichrist until it no longer serves his purpose. True and undefiled religion is by faith in Christ alone, and He is able to transform us from within to desire and do God's will.
