It's very difficult to stay on the "straight and narrow" with everything that's been thrown at me and my family.

Jesus Christ is everything to me. Without the sacrifice He did for me, I would feel like I had no hope.

No hope at all.

It seems that everyone who would doubt what is taught about God (atheists and such) are more likely to be and think the way God wants us to.

Heb 11:6 For whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists AND that he rewards those who seek him


The goal is not to simply ‘believe IN’ Him (whatever it means to ‘believe IN’ something), but to want to “DRAW NEAR” to Him endearingly and LOVE affectionately/respectfully the divine “truth”.


In John 14:6, Jesus described Himself as “THE TRUTH” of EVERYTHING.

In 2 Thessalonians we are told that in order to be saved, we must “LOVE” Jesus endearingly.


So draw near with all of your heart and mind to “the truth” (Jesus)……Be a “SON of God”, not a slave or servant of Him.


The goal for modern worshippers must be ETERNAL LIFE and a clear conscience worshipping “ETERNAL GOD” and embracing the ETERNAL COVENANT (Jesus).


Deu 33:27 The eternal God is your dwelling place (the God of Jeshurun)..


Rom 16:26 according to the command of the eternal God, to bring about the obedience of faith--


Heb 13:20 by the blood of the eternal covenant,

1Corin. 15:28 that God may be everything to every one.


...meaning that it takes doubt/skepticism to have true faith.

Verse is from the RSV.
