This clearly indicates the [[difference]] between the old [[religion]] and the new. The old religion taught self-[[sacrifice]]; the new religion teaches only '''self-forgetfulness''', enhanced [[self-realization]] in conjoined social [[service]] and [[universe]] comprehension. The old religion was motivated by [[fear]]-consciousness; the new gospel of the kingdom is dominated by [[truth]]-conviction, the [[spirit]] of [[eternal]] and [[universal]] [[truth]]. And no amount of [[piety]] or creedal [[loyalty]] can compensate for the absence in the life [[experience]] of kingdom believers of that [[spontaneous]], generous, and sincere friendliness which characterizes the spirit-born sons of the living [[God]]. Neither [[tradition]] nor a [[Ritual|ceremonial]] [[system]] of [[formal]] [[worship]] can atone for the lack of genuine [[compassion]] for one's fellows.
