True Spirituality and Its Misconceptions

Spirituality in contemporary society is often equated with personal practices and the adherence to specific rules or regulations. This definition fosters a self-centered approach, distancing the concept from its biblical origins. True spirituality, as understood through the Reformation, emphasizes faith centered on Scripture and the person of Jesus Christ, rather than a checklist of behaviors. The idea that spirituality can simply be defined by compliance with personal rules undercuts the essence of a transformative faith.
