True religion

One of the most famous quotes on true religion from the Christian Church Fathers is by St. James, who said in James 1:27: "Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." 

St. Augustine also provided insights about true religion. In his Confessions, he wrote, "For to worship You is to acknowledge that You exist, and that You reward those who seek You diligently. This is the faith that saves the people of God." He believed that faith in God was the foundation of true religion and that worship and devotion should come from the heart. 

Another Church Father, St. Cyril of Alexandria, wrote, "True religion consists in worshipping the Lord in spirit and in truth, not with visible sacrifices, but with the offering of the soul itself." He believed that true religion was a matter of the heart and not just outward actions. 

Overall, the teachings of the Christian Church Fathers emphasize the importance of faith in God, loving and caring for others, and being true to oneself in order to practice true religion.
