Why I Believe

How do you know what’s right without God? If the society told you that murdering infants was justifiable—and we’re about there—would you go along with it? I actually have the opposite problem, I know God exists. It’s just whether He loves me or not, that’s my only question. That I truly don’t know. Because life has been utter misery following Him, but I know the Gospels say that’s what will happen. If it weren’t for the Bible I would be an atheist. It just makes more sense to me than what everyone else is peddling. Because I know there’s need for a higher law and higher judgment to set the balance right, because man is completely incapable of doing it himself. And if it weren’t for Jesus, I’d be an atheist. Moses doesn’t cut it. I need Jesus. As Peter said, “Where shall we turn, you have the words of Eternal life.” And why be good, if no reward follows? That’s the most important question and what trips people up. There is no reward for doing what’s right. In fact, it can often times have the opposite effect, which is isolation and shame. So why do it? You need God to judge, as it makes you a better person from within, to be able to hold yourself accountable and do the right thing—the actual right thing—without worrying about offense to the wider society.
