I'v been reading through Richard A. Muller's great project, Post-Reformation Reformed Dogmatics. In it he sights Johannes Marckius' defintion of religion. I think it's worth citing.
"'True religion is the right way of knowing and honoring God, for the purpose of the salvation of sinners and the glory of God'. This definition, writes Marckius, draws directly on the sequence implied in Titus 1:1-2, for true knowledge of God leads to right worship, worship to slavation, salvation to the glory of God, while the completion or fullness of God's glory in salvation produces worship and worship yields knowledge." (Muller, PRRD. vol.1. Pg. 173).
