Hi this is an interesting question what is the place that makes you feel more religious or of God? In the Bible Jesus Christ explained to a woman that the time will come when the place where people worship will be unimportant. Some people believe that the church, the physical building if you will, is of high importance and there is no worship without being in the building. Going to church is the only spiritual thing, but the words of Jesus Christ mean something else entirely, let’s pull up the story:
John 4:20-26
Modern English Version (MEV)
20 Our fathers worshipped on this mountain, but you all say that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.”
21 Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe Me, the hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father. 22 You worship what you do not know; we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews. 23 Yet the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and truth. For the Father seeks such to worship Him. 24 God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship Him in spirit and truth.”
25 The woman said to Him, “I know that Messiah is coming” (who is called Christ). “When He comes, He will tell us all things.”
26 Jesus said to her, “I who speak to you am He.”
Romans 12:1
Easy-to-Read Version
Give Your Lives to God
12 So I beg you, brothers and sisters, because of the great mercy God has shown us, offer your lives as a living sacrifice to him—an offering that is only for God and pleasing to him. Considering what he has done, it is only right that you should worship him in this way.
