Bible Note: Dear Maearl, Yes, we are all in need of the grace of God. The fact that you are thinking these things through at all means He is working in you! People who care nothing of God rarely worry about it. When they do, they mostly try to justify themselves. The good news is that you don't have to "just accept things." God has explicitly stated what we are to believe in the Bible (the sixty-six books of the orthodox canon). Whatever Bible you have available, get started reading through the gospels. Don't worry about what you don't understand. Instead, focus on what you DO understand. Ask God for His grace to guide and direct you in understanding His Word, and living what you learn. You have a wonderful adventure ahead of you! That doesn't mean you won't have problems and even suffering... just as our Lord had problems and suffered, so are His disciples called to such lives. But there is nothing like the Christian walk in all the world! For nothing can satisfy and delight like the Lord God Himself! In Him, Doc |
